About CSU

Learn what makes us who we are – where we came from, where we're going, why we do things our way, and the places that make our work possible.

We're striving to push the limits to explore a new vision.

We have achieved recognition as one of the top universities in the world by striving for excellence, pushing the boundaries, and seeking knowledge wherever it may lead. We never hesitate to challenge received wisdom and quickly and publicly disseminate our findings. Since our founding in 2022, this strategy has resulted in our growth increasing exponentially. Because we're representing a top institution at Calvin Industries, we've strived to go beyond the limits, and we've strived to do things that no student has ever done in trying to seek new alternatives to our modern-day education system in standardized testing.

Founded in 2021

Since then, we've never stopped with our vision of educating the world to protect, reform, and secure our public education system.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

The Calgary area, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, is a place of confluence where the sharing of ideas and opportunities naturally come together. Indigenous peoples have their own names for this area that have been in use long before Scottish settlers named this place Calgary. The Métis call the Calgary area Otos-kwunee. In the Blackfoot language, they call this place, Moh-kins-tsis. The Stoney Nakoda Nation refer to the Calgary area as Wicispa Oyade and the people of the Tsuut’ina nation call this area Guts-ists-i.

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This includes: the Blackfoot Confederacy, made up of the Siksika (Seeg-see-kah), Piikani (Pee-gah-nee), and Kainai (G-ai-nah) First Nations; the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi6 First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki (Chin-ick-ee), Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina (Soot-tenna) First Nation.
