Lara Quigaman has completed her diploma in Early Childhood Education in Vancouver, Canada.

On Instagram, the former beauty queen shared a reel taken during her graduation day.

In a separate post, she shared her official toga photos and introduced herself as Teacher Lara.

"I remember doing an ad 20 years ago where I said, 'I want to have 12 children!' Well, guess what? Now I have over 70+—and that's not even including my own!" she wrote.

"I'm so, so grateful that I get to do what I love—work with children, help shape their lives, and point them to Jesus," she added.

The Miss International 2005 also reflected on her family's big move to Canada, sharing the emotional journey behind the decision.

"Leaving behind our careers and the life we knew in the Philippines was not easy, but we chose to follow a dream that had been in our hearts long before our boys were born," she said.

"I'm teary-eyed typing this, because today is the beautiful result of every sacrifice and challenge we've faced and overcome by His grace," she added.

Lara has been married to Marco Alcaraz since 2011. They have three sons.
