CSI will be offering Teacher Training in Suzuki Early Childhood Education for the first time in 2017. For a brief introduction to the class, click here. For details about training, click here.
Teachers taking Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) training become well versed in the Seven Essential Suzuki Concepts that form the heart of the SECE curriculum:

- Environment Nurtures Growth
- Children Learn from One Another
- Success Breeds Success
