Learning Circle

We live in a time of rapid change, when, for the first time in history, we are preparing our learners for a future which we cannot describe. The education of learners must be adaptive to this dynamic and ever-changing world, and for this to happen, schools must place the learner and learning at the very core of everything it does.

Each theme of work in our curriculum connects to the core principles of international mindedness and global citizenship. This gives learners the opportunity to develop critical thinking about complex global issues in the safe space of the classroom. As learners connect their learning to the real-world, they are encouraged to explore, develop and express their own values and opinions, while listening to and respecting other people’s point of view. Young learners are able to make informed choices about exercising their own rights and their responsibilities towards others.In addition to these elements, a strong emphasis is placed on Wellbeing, fostering a supportive environment that nurtures the mental, emotional, and social health of each learner.

The Learning Circle has six main elements that permeate throughout a learner’s journey at the Academy. Academics is covered through the rigorous and internationally recognised curriculum, facilitated by qualified and experienced teachers. Every learner will have exposure to The Arts in various forms from Preschool through to Senior School. The Academy considers Physical Education of paramount importance to ensure a child lives a healthy and balanced life. Outdoor Education programmes are planned to cement a learner’s understanding of a particular topic or concept. All Beacon Academy learners take pride in being involved in Service learning initiatives, demonstrating compassion and empathy for all of humanity. The Academy runs a wide array of Activities providing every learner the opportunity to extend themselves in areas of their choosing.
