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.
Academic Calendar 2025-2026
We have planned an exciting year for the students and teachers. You can review our course and contest schedule. Many contests are available for all Canadian students. We want Canadian students to have as many opportunities as possible. Take advantage of these exclusive opportunities to learn, compete and win.
You can find the 2024-2025 calendar here.
Why should you enroll?
CKSTEM excels at nurturing talent and allowing them to participate in global olympiads. Therefore, 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 3 course this year.
Also, we proudly announce that one of our students has won a medal in the prestigious Canadian Math Olympiad, a testament to our student's hard work and dedication. We are now setting our sights on the International Math Olympiad, and we are confident that with our students' continued efforts, we will soon see more such achievements.
Middle School Explorer (MSE)
Middle School Explorers (MSE) is an advanced course for students in grades 5-7. The goal of this course is to provide a strong foundation for young students, preparing them for advanced math competitions such as the Canadian Math Olympiad (CMO), USA Math Olympiad (USAMO), and International Math Olympiad (IMO). By participating in this course, students will not only enhance their problem-solving skills but also gain a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, which will be beneficial for their academic and personal growth.
This course is designed to minimize repetition and maximize exploration of a wide variety of problem-solving concepts. Students will be encouraged to spend time on each problem, understanding that the learning process is as necessary as the solution. The course will also focus on developing your skills in writing proofs, a crucial aspect of advanced math competitions.
The test for this course features a few complex problems. It's important to note that we're not expecting students to solve all the problems. What we're really interested in is how students approach the problems and demonstrate their problem-solving skills. Therefore, detailed solutions are expected, regardless of whether the problem was fully solved.
If you are interested in the course, write detailed solutions for questions you can solve and email your work as a PDF document to info@ckstem.org before 31st July.
High School Course Entrance Test
Our advanced summer course, commencing on July 7th, and the full-year course, starting in September, offer unique learning opportunities. We encourage you to complete the entrance tests to ensure you're prepared to grasp the complexity and enjoy the course. These tests will assess your readiness and provide a glimpse of the enriching experience that awaits you. Please follow the instructions in the entrance test if you are interested in the course.
These courses are taught by Ms. Cerasela, a seasoned educator who has been instrumental in helping hundreds of students realize their academic aspirations over the years. Her expertise and dedication make these courses a valuable learning experience.
CKSTEM Global Competitions
CKSTEM offers students several opportunities to participate in various global contests, providing a platform for learning and growth. Our most popular contests are the Canadian Innovation Contests, a series of 6 competitions allowing students to explore and enhance their math, science, computing, visual arts, creative writing, and public speaking & debate skills. Thousands of students participate each year, and many find it a transformative experience.
We have also partnered with the Olympiad Champion Education Centre to offer Canadian students a series of the world's best math Olympiads. If you're interested in participating and preparing for these contests, know you're not alone. We're here to support you every step of the way. Whether it's learning, competing, or winning, we're committed to helping you succeed. So don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
