Several early adopter schools, both private and public, have enrolled in our early adopter program.  Master’s is the international hub for Imaginal Education, hosting  numerous 3-5 day training events to visitors from around the world.  A teacher residency program, where lead teachers visit Master’s for a prolonged period of time, is offered to core partners. For example, our Brazilian partner has visited Master’s seven times in the last 4 years, sending both corporate and educational leaders up to twenty at a time.

They have, for many years, been conducting vocational training for young people. Today the Nishimura Educational Campus includes a newly built college vocational training facility operated in partnership with FATEC, SENAI high school, and the Colégio Shunji Nishimura school. that moved into a brand new school facility in January 2019. We launched a pilot high school in January of 2015 at Shunji Nishimura SENAI school as the first prototype school of Profound Learning in Brazil. After three years, the students from our pilot school were performing at the top of all high schools in the state of Sao Paulo, with a population of over 40 million. It was a resounding success! In 2016, we began training teachers from the Colégio Shunji Nishimura, a private school operating under the Nishimura Foundation. The openness and willingness to embrace a new system of education were evident as they launched with Profound Learning in January 2017. Within weeks evidence of significant changes in a positive orientation of students towards school and learning was being noticed. There was no turning back; the future course was now established, CSN was on its way to becoming a prototype school for the nation of Brazil. In 2018, the Nishimura family decided to build a new school for Colégio Shunji Nishimura, which opened in January 2019. Soon we plan on onboarding new schools in Brazil as we begin the multiplication process.

We visited Durban in October 2019 to conduct a 2-day Imaginal Leaders workshop to 78 leaders of AEE schools from across Africa. In December 2019, Doreen Grey visited Durban South Africa to conduct Learning Bank training. Harvest Christian School in Port Elizabeth joined Redwood College in Durban in the Learning Bank development initiative.  The goal is to finish the South African Learning Bank as quickly as possible as well as create a separate AEE Learning Bank. In addition, teams are developing digital content using the Geenius Platform.

As a result of this trip, we connected with Alero Ayida Otobo, the founder of Incubator Africa Ltd., who subsequently became our first international partner in 2013. In 2018 Imaginal Education Initiative was established to represent Imaginal Education in Nigeria.  Since 2012, Imaginal Education has visited Nigeria seven times. With our inaugural Imaginal Transformation workshop in November of 2013, it became very clear that the first step in the transformation process is the help school leaders and owners to see what the future of their school could look like, otherwise, transformation would not be possible. Doreen Grey, Andy and Tom Rudmik returned to Lagos in February 2014 to train 70 teachers from the schools that had attended the Imaginal Leaders Workshop in November.  This was our first three-day international teacher training seminar, and our global vision has been launched having now trained both school leaders and teachers. Africa entered our lives in 2012 when we were invited to speak at the West African Education Transformation Conference in July of 2012, Lagos, Nigeria.

Why would Imaginal Education get invited to conduct an Imaginal Workshop with a national Nigerian Bank? To answer this question, we will need to look more deeply into the solutions that Imaginal Education has developed in the area of transformation. The philosophy, systems, methods and tools that IE has developed to transform education are equally applicable to our Brazilian partner’s agri-business and to the government of Uganda or to a National Bank in Nigeria. Tom Rudmik, Andy Rudmik, Jeff Graham conducted a 2-day Imaginal Transformation Workshop, Oct .1-2 with about 80 executives and managers from the Sterling Bank in Nigeria. The Sterling Bank is a client of our Nigerian partner and has expressed its
intent to invest in the education sector in Nigeria. As a followup, the Sterling Bank has requested to send a small team of about 15 people
to Master’s in Calgary and the development of an ITC.
