About Us

Our team has built a growing network of skilful educators and passionate families to do what we do best:

Empower learners.


At Ck2 Inc., we uniquely program learners of all ages at their current level of development, providing an environment where students can strengthen their cognitive function and explore exciting learning modalities to ensure a fulfilling future. We break free from foundational assumptions about how people learn to help our students reach a new potential.

Ultimately, we recognize the value of inclusivity.

To us, this means your current challenges do not dictate your potential.


Since laying a foundation in the Manitoba homeschooling community in 2012, we have experienced exponential growth.

In 2019, we expanded our services and became an authorized site for the Arrowsmith Program, a cognitive enhancement program where we help learners of all ages target areas of inefficiency to reach their potential. 

We work with parents looking to enhance their child’s ability to read, university students looking to increase their working memory, entrepreneurs trying to optimize their capacity for relational reasoning, retirees wanting to sharpen their memory and individuals recovering from brain injury or stroke through programs dedicated to strengthening learning capacities.

The events over the past years have put many people in vulnerable positions as they navigate changing circumstances.

During this time, we have been able to help families make educational connections and decisions based on the transforming educational landscape.

Our impact in the community, now more than ever, is helping students stay on course with their educational journeys by providing an alternative model to enhance their cognitive development. In our experience, learning difficulties do not have to be permanent.

Our efforts have always focused on complementing and preparing students to return to traditional learning modalities. Our learning environment is not static. Rather, we look to dynamically position our methods to educate our learners based on their individual needs.


“An educational psychologist told me that my child won’t ever keep up, likely won’t go to post secondary education, will always struggle in school, and will suffer from anxiety. The reason I didn’t crawl into a ball and cry my eyes out was because we found hope withCk2 Inc.

We want to create awareness within and beyond standard approaches to learning, breaking the thought that cognitive inefficiencies have to be permanent.

We are a catalyst for bringing people together, and this idea of community resonates with our core values–creating an environment where all learners have a spot at our table and an opportunity to strengthen their capabilities.

Welcome here! I’m Karen.

I believe that your brain is powerful, and the fine details make all the difference in helping you thrive.

As a parent of a child with additional learning needs, I’ve walked in your shoes. I remember the “What do we do now?” thoughts, and the worries about him living a full life.

As an educator myself, I saw the gaps in the typical education model for those who didn’t learn the same way.

Your abilities go beyond your diagnosis, and you can make progress you’re proud of.

With a customized plan, and support at every step, you’re a whole lot closer to your potential than it feels right now.


Ck2 Inc. is a place where hope lives.
