Weekly STEM courses, the Canadian Innovation Contests, and global olympiad pathways — for 8k+ students across 400+ schools globally.
CKSTEM Curriculum
After carefully reviewing the curricula of several school boards and global competitions, we have developed a comprehensive CKSTEM Curriculum for our Math Problem-Solving, English, and Public Speaking courses. We are confident that this curriculum will help children not only compete but also excel at the global level.
Why enroll
CKSTEM excels at nurturing talent and allowing students to participate in global olympiads. Contest participation is an integral part of our philosophy. All math courses include ~$400 worth of global contests every year.
Contests provide students with a reality check throughout the year and motivate them to improve their performance. Through their hard work, roughly 90% of our students win medals. We strongly encourage students to join our courses at the elementary level to build a strong foundation, which is why we have added the MPS 1 course (Grades 3–4) this year.
One of our students has won a medal in the prestigious Canadian Math Olympiad — a testament to their hard work and dedication. We are now setting our sights on the International Math Olympiad.
CKSTEM Leadership Awards
At CKSTEM, we believe that greatness starts with good habits. Every month, we celebrate students who lead by example — through curiosity, discipline, and integrity. Our Leaders of the Month are role models who inspire their peers not just through scores or rankings, but by showing commitment, effort, and character.
Leaders of the Month are not chosen by leaderboard positions but by their habits: attending classes regularly, staying curious, completing assignments with honesty, and asking questions actively. True success comes from discipline, curiosity, and integrity — not shortcuts.
Learning resources
As children's first teachers, family members are crucial to student success. We engage families in the learning process through fun weekly challenges — higher-level concepts and approaches to problem-solving that you can work through together at home.

What families say
Parents enroll for the curriculum. They stay because their child learns to face hard things, win on real stages, and treat setbacks as data — not defeat.
I discovered CKStem when I was looking for math enrichment for my then 4 year old math-loving son. He is now 6 and has competed in three of the Canadian Innovation Math Competitions as well as some international competitions that were proctored by Yogesh and his team. These have…
