Kelston Deaf Education Centre is located in Archibald Road, New Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand. It is a residential special school for deaf children, as well as a resource centre providing services and support for mainstream students and their teachers in the Upper North Island (north of and including Taupo).
The Kelston School for the Deaf was established in 1958.
