Henry Kelsey has Special Education, E.S.L.,[5] and LEAP programs as well as a language lab to give added support to students who need it. The school offers programs such as drama, art, vocal music and instrumental music. Furthermore, the school also provides guidance and FSL (French as a second language) programs as mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Education.

The two-story building includes over 50 rooms and a large gymnasium that is able to divide into two. The school also includes a relatively big field nearby that is used for recess and gym, but the field is also shared by Chartland Jr P.S. When the school was first built, the second-story was an open-concept, but was later renovated to include walls between the classrooms.

Kelsey's feeder schools include Chartland Jr P.S., Percy Williams Jr P.S., Lynnwood Heights Jr P.S., Alexmuir Jr P.S., A.S. Taylor Jr P.S., Brimwood Jr P.S., and Iroquois Jr P.S.. Most students who graduate from the school either go to Agincourt Collegiate Institute or Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute, as well as Francis Libermann Catholic High School, Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School or St. Mother Teresa Catholic Academy.[6]
