Words by cefa founder Natacha Beim:

It has been ten years since we first began instilling in children an insatiable desire to learn, to be knowledgeable, and to recognize themselves as an important piece of a very large puzzle: our world.

Core Education & Fine Arts is more than a place to learn: it is a place where children learn to discover themselves, to believe in themselves, and to believe in the freedom that comes with knowledge.

Our schools invite children to explore the world through art, through books, through yoga, and yes, through exploding scientific concoctions!

Dedicating myself to teaching, to learning, and to continuing to develop the cefa curriculum, has been immensely rewarding. It has also given me the privilege to work with very talented teachers and with dedicated parents.

Core Education & Fine Arts now has six schools and thousands of graduates. The cefa program has gained international interest and great recognition in Canada. But although I look back at the last ten years with a sense of achievement, there is still one thing I am striving for and working towards: making junior kindergarten education in Canada a child’s right, not a privilege.

May the next ten years make this wish come true.

CHEERS to that!
