Children’s Education Management (CEM) supports the educational needs of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) families both inside and outside of Canada. Our team works to ease the impact of frequent relocation on the education of military children and its impact on their education through Guidance Counselling Services, Educational Screenings, Education Allowances and Benefits, and the operation of the CAF Overseas Schools.
Our website offers resources and information for members. Please consult our FAQ document regarding Foreign Service Directives.
Educational Tools. These tools offer information for education in different provinces: a Starting Kindergarten Map, a Graduation Requirements Map, and a School Transition Portfolio.
Outside Canada. This section offers resources for Outside Canada postings, including Educational Screening instructions and forms, and lists of compatible schools worldwide.
Inside Canada. Members may be eligible for tutoring and other benefits related to a move between provinces.
CAF Overseas Schools. CAF operates 2 schools outside of Canada: SHAPE in Belgium and AFNORTH in the Netherlands.
