Hello, I'm Kristi Kraychy, Founder of Changemaker Workshops
From a young age, I felt the need to conceal my giftedness and heightened sensitivities. My experiences with perfectionism, anxiety, and depression have fueled my commitment to helping children, teens, and adults—especially those who are gifted and neurodivergent.
With over 20 years in education, I have had the privilege of teaching in a variety of K-12 schools in public, charter and private systems, as well as providing flute lessons as a Royal Conservatory of Music affiliate, and coaching families as a certified holistic nutritionist. I played a key role in developing the music program at West Island College in Calgary and helped launch Calgary’s first Nature Kindergarten, where I became the inaugural principal.
Losing my mother to cancer was a profound reminder of how precious life is, which fueled my determination to pursue my dream of creating a unique school. After earning a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of San Diego, I was inspired to establish the non-profit Calgary Changemakers in Education Society and the Calgary Changemaker School, where I had the joy of serving as Head of School for five years.
​
My team and I are on a mission to make change in education and to redefine 'educational excellence'. By thinking "outside-of-the-box" and placing a strong emphasis on the wellbeing of students, staff, and parents, we strive to empower each person we work with to use their unique talents to make a positive impact in the world.
