James S. Bell Junior Middle and Wellness Academy is a public elementary school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The school serves the west end neighbourhood of Long Branch in the former suburb of the Etobicoke.

Children of the village had to travel along a cow's lane and over some railroad tracks to the Horner Avenue School.

This small school consisted of one room which was heated by a coal stove and had outdoor facilities.

In 1959 Parkview School was opened and Mr. Rod Jack left James S. Bell to be its principal.

In 1962 the Board awarded Mr. Harvey Gibbs a service certificate on completion of 25 years at James S. Bell (January 1, 1938 to December 31, 1962).

Violin lessons were inaugurated under the direction of Mr. M. De Sotto in 1962 and in 1963 physical education was introduced under Mr. R. J. Lewis.

In February 1965 the Canadian Ensign was lowered for the last time and the new Maple Leaf flag raised by Mr. Gibbs, with all school personnel in attendance.

In November 1965 the ceremony of laying the cornerstone took place with Board members, local dignitaries and all school personnel attending.

The funds raised from this event purchased "Bright May Reflections", an oil painting by Hilton Hassell O.S.A.

Approximately five hundred and fifty people attended the official opening of the school on the evening of November 25.

1967 Mr Gibbs retired after forty years of school service, twenty-one of them as the principal of James S. Bell.

In March 1969 Mr. Caldwell went on medical leave and Mr. Parent became the acting principal for the remainder of the school year.
