Letter
from the
Editor
The aim of
education is the
knowledge, not of facts,
but of values.
- William
S. Burroughs
IImpeccable
Educational Foundations
Laying
I
n the grand blueprint of life, education serves as the architectural plan, and the
early years of schooling are the critical foundation upon which the entire
structure stands. Just as a solid foundation is imperative for the stability of a
building, a robust school education lays the groundwork for a successful and ful illing
future.
To create this desired robust school environment, a well-crafted curriculum and
engaging teaching methods are the way forward. This can ignite curiosity and foster a
lifelong love for learning. These early experiences also shape the mindset of students,
encouraging them to approach challenges with enthusiasm and resilience.
Although laying this impeccable foundation for pupils is what the schools are for,
inding the schools they can rely on is what parents are expected to do for their
children. Canada's educational landscape, which is celebrated for its commitment to
providing high-quality education, can make it even more tricky for parents.
In our latest edition, "Canada's Most Trusted Schools in 2023," The Education
View celebrates trust, integrity, and the pursuit of educational excellence. Stories of
these schools are testimony to the fact that education is not just about acquiring
knowledge but also about building a foundation for a future illed with
possibilities.
Canada's educational system re lects the country's dedication to quality,
diversity, and the all-around development of its future leaders. Its high
academic standards, coupled with a focus on critical thinking and practical
skills, ensure that students are well-equipped to pursue further
education or con idently enter the workforce.
We believe these schools will continue their relentless voyage to
educational excellence in the future, too, and ensure a better
future for Canada and, eventually, for the entire world.

tep into the world of
Sfashion
transformation with
The Cut Design Academy
located in the heart of
Vancouver. This hub of
creativity is all about
nurturing true fashion
business leaders. Imagine a
place where new ideas,
hands-on experience, and
top-notch skills come
together. This is what The
Cut Fashion Design is all
about—a place that goes
beyond traditional
education to help students
discover their talents, build
a solid knowledge base, and
make valuable industry
connections.
The Academy doesn't just
prepare students for the
fashion world; it propels
them into it. By offering
courses that align perfectly
with the fast-paced
demands of today's fashion
market, students are
primed for success. In the
world of fashion education,
The Cut Design Academy is
a standout. It's a place
where students are
empowered to shape the
future of the fashion
business, the ultimate
destination for all things
design and fashion.
A Learner-Centric
Environment
Upon initiating The Cut
Design Academy, Liza
Deyrmenjian's intention
was to establish an
environment centered
around learners. The ratio
maintained is one instructor
for every eight students,
ensuring classes remain
compact and concentrated.
At The Cut, educators are
not only familiar with their
students' names but also
with their career
aspirations and objectives.
The educational sector
has fallen short in adapting
to students' requirements,
and the newer generation
demands constant
engagement to maintain
their focus. This demand is
met through the adoption of
small class sizes and the
incorporation of hands-on
assignments throughout the
curriculum.
Exceptional Record of
Skill Enhancement
The Cut has achieved an
impressive record of 100%
success in elevating
students' skill levels. This
accomplishment pertains to
students who enter the
academy with a background
in fashion but seek to
enhance their pro iciency in
specialized areas such as
digital pattern-making or
3D integration. The
academy has effectively
placed all such students in
their desired dream
jobs—an exceptional
achievement that speaks to
the quality of education
provided.
The distinctive approach
taken by The Cut's
educators, involving well-
structured terms and in-
depth exploration of
subjects, has led students to
excel in their chosen ields.
For example, within a mere
eight months of enrollment,
Fashion Design Diploma
students demonstrate
comparable or even
superior design and
pattern-making abilities in
comparison to peers at
other institutions who have
completed more than a year
of study. This signi icant
progress is attributed to the
academy's commitment to
small class sizes and
immersive learning
experiences, fostering an
environment of focused
learning and delivering
remarkable outcomes.
Moreover, The Cut's
Graphic Design Program is
generating highly
accomplished graphic
artists who are garnering
attention within Canada's
thriving real estate market.
The demand in this sector is
currently robust, and these
artists are effectively
balancing their studies with
part-time work, showcasing
both their remarkable
talents and their dedication
to their craft.
Notably, The Cut's
Makeup Artistry 26-week
certi icate program offers
an exciting opportunity.
Despite its relatively short
duration and cost of under
$7,000, this program equips
individuals with a valuable
certi icate that opens doors
to a career with potential
earnings of at least $80,000
annually. The program's
design prioritizes an
enjoyable learning
experience, and the
potential for graduates to
achieve remarkable career
success is undeniable.
Personalized Support
System
Liza emphasizes that due to
the close relationship
between the faculty and the
students, The Cut is
exceptionally dedicated to
nurturing its students. This
proximity allows the
academy to promptly
identify if a student is facing
challenges and enables
swift intervention. In such
cases, an immediate action
plan is implemented to
ensure the student's
successful progression
through the program. The
involvement of Campus
Direct Talia Cohen is
particularly noteworthy;
her dedication and rapport
with the students are
exceptional. At The Cut, the
primary focus is undeniably
on achieving success for
every student.
Holistic Approach to
Education and
Opportunities
Every summer, The Cut
organizes youth camps that
draw participants from
various parts of the city and
even the country. These
camps run concurrently
with the adult full-time
programs, creating a vibrant
atmosphere where the
enthusiasm of young
participants energizes the
adult students. These young
attendees gain insight into

the possibilities within the
design industry, bene iting
from the guidance of
professionals from
renowned brands like
Lululemon, Arcteryx,
Herschel, Oak and Fort and
more who serve as
instructors.
Remarkably, The Cut
extends opportunities to its
former youth design camp
attendees as they transition
into their teenage years.
Many of these young camp
alumni choose to continue
their engagement by
enrolling in its part-time
classes. Those who exhibit
exceptional talent are
granted the chance to assist
in teaching the youth camps
alongside an adult
instructor. This not only
bolsters their self-assurance
and enhances their skills
but also bolsters their
applications for future
college endeavors or
employment opportunities.
The academy also boasts
an impressive scholarship
program, applicable across
all its diploma offerings.
Notably, the success rate for
students enrolled in The
Cut's portfolio preparation
courses stands at an
impressive 100 per cent.
This achievement fosters a
strong sense of trust within
the community, establishing
The Cut as a leading
institution in the realm of
design education.
Liza herself takes a
proactive role in offering
personalized guidance to
students, ensuring they
receive tailored advice
regarding their education
and career paths based on
their individual interests
and skills. This commitment
to personalized support
solidi ies the academy's
reputation as a place where
students can con idently
explore their passions and
chart a successful course
forward.
Staying Ahead of the
Curve
The Cut bene its from a
highly effective advisory
board that convenes
regularly to delve into the
evolving needs of various
industries. This proactive
approach ensures that the
academy remains at the
forefront of both
educational methodologies
and the latest advancements
in software and
applications. A key facet of
this strategy is the
engagement of instructors
who are established
professionals within their
respective ields. This
deliberate choice not only
guarantees the delivery of
top-tier instruction but also
maintains the academy's
position on the cutting edge
of industry developments.
By consistently integrating
industry insights and
expertise, The Cut remains
exceptionally aligned with
the dynamic pulse of the
sectors it serves.
Celebrating Student
Success
The Cut has celebrated a
remarkable achievement as
its third student secured
admission to Central Saint
Martins, a prestigious
accomplishment by any
measure. A standout
example among its students
involves an individual who
dedicated a year to re ining
her portfolio at the
academy, subsequently
earning the highest
scholarship offered by
RISD—an impressive
$85,000.00 USD. This
achievement was an
exhilarating testament to
the academy's ability to
empower young individuals
to reach such signi icant
milestones.
In a separate instance,
one student's aspiration to
work at Arcteryx was met
with a strategic education
plan devised by Liza.
Astonishingly, within just
four months of completing
their studies, this student
was hired as a pattern
engineer at Arcteryx, a
testament to the academy's
capacity to guide students
toward their dream careers
effectively.
Moreover, the story of a
young lady who engaged in
approximately ive part-
time classes at The Cut
stands as a powerful
testament to the academy's
transformative impact.
Recognizing her
commitment to the industry,
Liza personally mentored
her. Within a span of two
years, she transitioned from
a role earning her
$36,000.00 annually to an
industry position yielding
over $85,000.00 per year.
This remarkable shift was
achieved through her
completion of two of The
Cut's certi icates, diligent
effort, and Liza's
recommendations for
freelance work. Remarkably,

received a job offer from
one of the recommended
companies. These stories
collectively underscore The
Cut's ef icacy in reshaping
lives and facilitating
extraordinary professional
growth opportunities.
Transparent Approach to
Education
The Cut adopts a proactive
approach to addressing any
challenges that students
might be facing. In the
initial stages, the academy
engages in open
conversations with the
students to understand and
address their concerns.
Subsequently, The Cut
arranges meetings with the
student's support systems,
ensuring a collaborative
effort to overcome any
hurdles they might be
encountering. This
multifaceted support
system is designed to
provide effective assistance
to students in navigating
dif iculties.
To further facilitate
students' success, The Cut
ensures that information
regarding their academic
performance, including
grades or percentages, is
consistently updated and
accessible. This approach
aids students in managing
their expectations and
provides them with the
necessary information to
take proactive steps if
required.
Transparency is a
fundamental aspect of The
Cut's approach. Every
student is provided with
access to its Customer
Relationship Management
(CRM) system, which
houses their academic
records and grades. This
empowers students to stay
informed about their
progress and achievements.
The academy also extends
the opportunity for
prospective students to
audit a class, allowing them
to experience the learning
environment irsthand and
gauge if it aligns with their
preferences. Additionally,
parents are welcome to
attend these audit sessions,
promoting a high level of
transparency. This approach
offers an authentic glimpse
into the atmosphere of the
school, ensuring that both
students and their families
can make well-informed
decisions about their
education.
Empowering Excellence
Liza plays an active role in
observing and gauging the
outcomes of the student's
efforts. While she
acknowledges the
exceptional skills of her
instructors, she
understands that effective
teaching requires a distinct
set of abilities. Teaching
involves a genuine passion
for imparting knowledge
and grati ication in
witnessing students
thrive—qualities that
emanate from a deep and
unique place within. Not
everyone possesses the
capacity to tap into this
intrinsic motivation.
Liza's discernment is
largely informed by the
output of the students. She
recognizes that while
technical pro iciency is
crucial, the true measure of
a great instructor lies in
their ability to inspire and
guide their students toward
success. This is a quality
that emanates from a
genuine connection with the
art of teaching and a
commitment to nurturing
individual growth.
In instances where she
identi ies a student's
waning interest, Liza takes
proactive measures to
address the situation. She
occasionally sits in on these
classes, providing her with
valuable insights into the
instructional process. This
commitment to quality
control and ongoing
improvement ensures that
the educational experience
offered by the academy is
consistently exceptional.
Liza's approach, which
values both the expertise of
the instructors and the
depth of their teaching
abilities, contributes to the
academy's success as a
cohesive team. The
harmonious collaboration
between instructors and
leadership has consistently
delivered remarkable
outcomes for the students,
af irming the academy's
commitment to excellence.

Support for Students

feelings of depression or
anxiety when it comes time
to submit projects. The
academy takes a proactive
approach by providing
ongoing support throughout
the project's duration.
Depending on the individual
student's circumstances,
The Cut may oﬀer
additional time for
assignment submission or
allocate a tutor to assist in
completing the project.
Recognizing the evolving
landscape that students
navigate, The Cut places a
high priority on their well-
being. This aligns with a
broader trend within
educational institutions, as
schools across the board are
increasing their vigilance in
providing comprehensive
support to students. The
academy's commitment to
guiding students through
their academic journey in a
holistic manner
underscores its dedication
to nurturing not only their
intellectual growth but also
their emotional and mental
well-being. Liza shares, "We
have reached out to Big
Brother's and are hoping to
establish a partnership with
their youth for our part-time
sewing program and our
part-time Adobe program."
Enriching Perspectives
The Cut boasts a faculty that
is incredibly diverse, and
this is a source of pride for
Liza. With a deep personal
connection as a child of an
immigrant, Liza values the
richness that this diversity
brings to the academy. The
faculty includes individuals
from various backgrounds,
such as Iranian, Asian,
African American, White
Canadian, South African,
and many more. This
assortment of perspectives
contributes to a dynamic
and inclusive educational
environment.
In line with this
commitment to diversity,
The Cut's student body
re lects a broad spectrum of
cultures and backgrounds.
Through collaboration with
international agents, the
academy actively endeavors
to attract students from
around the world, fostering
a melting pot of cultural
experiences within its
community. This emphasis
on multiculturalism and
exposure to diverse
viewpoints is seen as a
means to not only enhance
individual growth but also
to shape future leaders
within the ield of design.
By embracing a wide
range of backgrounds and
experiences, The Cut
positions itself as a space
where human
understanding is enriched
and leadership in the design
industry is characterized by
a deep appreciation for the
diverse world in which we
live.
Leveraging Exceptional
Homestay Experience
The academy supports the
idea of homestay, a fantastic
option that's safe,
aﬀordable, and culturally
enriching. It's not just a
place to stay—it's a chance
to improve English skills
and immerse oneself in a
new culture.
The academy ensures that
homestay families are
carefully chosen and
regularly checked on to
guarantee a great
experience for students.
Plus, they're lexible.
Whether it's dietary needs,
religious preferences, or
allergies, the academy has it
covered. These homestays
are usually in peaceful
suburban areas that are
well-connected to
transportation.

Carmel New Church School
Facilitating a Multimodal Approach Towards Education
wealthy and just
Asociety is built on a
strong foundation of
education, and in Canada, a
child's future is greatly
influenced by the school they
attend. With a focus on
critical thinking, problem-
solving, and creativity,
Canadian education is famous
for its excellence and
diversity. Here, a student will
get the best education
possible, one that is suited to
their needs and interests.
Both public and private
schools are widely available
in Canada, and each one has
advantages. While private
schools may offer specialised
programs, public schools
offer accessible education.
The development of a child's
abilities and potential
depends on this decision.
Additionally, Canadian
schools promote a feeling of
diversity and inclusivity that
helps pupils get ready for the
globalised world.
An appropriate education
gives people the abilities and
knowledge they need to
prosper in a world that is
changing quickly. Because it
creates the foundation for a
better and more hopeful
future, choosing the correct
school in Canada is crucial.
In Canada, Carmel New
Church School (CNCS) has
a long history of excellence
and offers junior kindergarten
through grade 8 students a
top-notch educational
environment. The goal of the
school is to educate students
while working with their
families and the larger
community. The school lays a
lot of emphasis on developing
each child's special skills,
encouraging creativity, and
upholding high academic
standards while preserving
their youth.
Focusing on training students
for a meaningful and
compassionate life on earth
and, ultimately, in Heaven
sets New Church Education
unique from other educational
institutions. The institution
holds that developing a strong
relationship with God and
acting in a benevolent manner
towards one another are the
first steps towards living a
happy and fruitful life.
They encourage a close
relationship with the Lord
through morning worship,
scripture study sessions, and
the incorporation of spiritual
knowledge into all topics in
order to accomplish this. In
addition to teaching students
about morality and charity,
New Church Education offers
many chances for them to put
their learning into practise in
the school environment.

A Life Shaped by CNCS
A person's achievement after
attending Carmel New
Church School (CNCS) from
kindergarten through the tenth
grade of high school is proof
of the significant influence of
their educational experience.
Throughout their time here,
they experienced a distinctive
learning atmosphere that
placed a high value on
individual student respect and
individualised attention.
The education received
here helped them develop a
strong appreciation for
reading, writing, and religion,
as well as a love for these
disciplines. Because of the
purposefully small class sizes,
each student received a
customised education that
met their individual needs.
Students love having the
chance to interact
meaningfully with teachers
and peers by asking questions
and having meaningful
discussions, which helped to
create a stimulating
environment for intellectual
development.
The educational experience
here was extended by a
variety of teaching strategies
outside of the usual classroom
setting, such as field trips,
theatrical productions, art
projects, and outdoor
learning. This
multidimensional approach
supported a well-rounded
development of their talents
and interests in addition to
making learning more
entertaining.
What distinguishes this
school from other schools is
the commitment of the
teaching staff, who not only
provided pupils with a
traditional education but also
transmitted a way of life
based on the New Church's
principles. The role models
provided by the teachers had
a profound impact on the
person's values and character.
Beyond their time here, the
effects of this education
influenced their choices in life
and helped them develop into
the people they are today.
They attended Carmel New
Church Secondary School
(CNCSS) for their first two
years of high school after
finishing the eighth grade in
2013. This time proved to be
of great value since it gave
them the flexibility and

responsibility they needed to
get ready for the next stage of
their academic careers. After
their time here, they spent two
years expanding their horizons
in a neighbourhood public
school.
They attended Bryn Athyn
College in Pennsylvania after
graduating high school to
further their education. They
graduated from there with a
Bachelor of Arts in Education,
a Special Education
Specialisation, and a Minor in
Religion. They also met their
future husband while in
college, which paved the way
for an unbelievable life
experience.
After getting married, they
moved back to Kitchener,
where their husband took up
the position of associate pastor
at the Carmel New Church,
and they accepted the role of
kindergarten teacher as well.
The plot changed, though,
when they shortly discovered
they were expecting their first
child. Just before their baby
was born, they made the
decision to leave their
position as teachers in
response. A new chapter in
their lives began when they
decided to stay at home with
their child and devote their
time to raising them.
This person and her
husband are currently
expecting their second child
and feel incredibly fortunate
to be a part of the Carmel
New Church community,
where their educational
journey began and still has an
impact on their values and
choices in life. Their
transformation from a CNCS
student to an active member
of the community is evidence
of the value of a good
education and the feeling of
direction the New Church
teachings have given them.

Church School. To keep
