What CEESA Does
CEESA sponsors a wide variety of activities. Student activities
include a Cultural Arts Festival, celebrations and sports of all
kinds, and more. CEESA supports the teachers of its member schools
with Teachers' Job-Alikes (JALs), and all kinds of resources.
In addition there is the Annual Conference, bringing together
250 teachers for professional growth and social interaction. CEESA
organizes several meetings in the year for school administrators
for collaboration, planning and conversation.
On this site, you'll find links to the other regions, as well
