Our Students Run a Coffee Bar!

Jaden, Felicity, and Kaveri - Gr 8

Our students lead this entrepreneurship opportunity allowing our classmates to connect with each other by serving coffee, baked goods, and drinks - all while learning how to start and run a business.

Mini-Cup is CHCA’s Gr 7-8 entrepreneurship club where students work and lead in a business environment.

In 2021, the mini cup moved from its temporary location near the school office to a permanent location as part of the Mimi Ehlen Memorial Library (shown below). Nestled in one of the school’s beautiful innovation spaces, the Mini Cup offers an array of drink and food options to students and has been a stellar success. Guided by teachers, students must innovate ideas to bring in more revenue and customers. Mini-Cup student managers continually find ways to empower their peers and further enhance the overall experience for both customers and employees.
