We are a small, young school with a big family of students, parents, and staff. As part of the Beaconhouse School System, our students benefit from the breadth of a truly international environment. We value the principles of child-centered learning and our students enjoy a mix of different educational experiences both in and out of the classroom.
Our teachers are highly trained and experienced professionals. There is a healthy mix of Expat and local teachers who work to achieve high learning outcomes for each student. Our teachers are specialists in their field and all students benefit from specialist subject teachers whether they are in year one or year ten.
We follow the Cambridge International curriculum at primary, secondary, and IGCSE levels, offering a wide range of subjects for study. We pride ourselves on developing our students into lifelong learners who value knowledge and its application. Our students not only have a passion and thirst for knowledge but are confident risk-takers who use a range of skills to problem solve.
At Beaconhouse Newlands we encourage independent thinking and research, providing a nurturing environment both in and out of the classroom. Students have access to a dedicated class teacher who will support them in their academic and pastoral development as they grow. They have access to a variety of different cultures and experience a truly global educational experience. The academic program is supported by an After School Programme that provides the students with the opportunity to experience activities and learn new skills.
The school is on a brand new campus which provides the students with an exceptional 21st-century learning environment. All classrooms are furnished with the latest technology and facilities to enhance their learning and provide the students with the opportunity to follow and achieve their dreams.
Here, we aim to nurture and inspire children to become independent global learners. We encourage them to be articulate, expressive thinkers and lifelong learners. We want them to be socially responsible, resilient, and active citizens of the world. We also believe that parents are a vital part of our school community. We believe that education is a joint venture between school and home and we aim to work with you to create a rich learning environment for our students. We can only give you a brief snapshot of what we do at Beaconhouse Newlands.
With the world and the needs of the community changing at an ever-increasing rate, Beaconhouse endeavors to be open to change, to adapt, innovate and keep pace with the goals that society expects. At Beaconhouse, our aim and belief are that through hard work and effort, students will be able to step confidently into the real and highly competitive world. We ensure that they are equipped with the ability to make mature and well-informed judgments based on a clear understanding of essential principles, concepts, and moral values. This, we believe, is the best contribution we can make towards their development as productive members of society and, through them, to the country and the wider world.
Our core focus is to deliver high-quality academic programs that enable students to achieve their intellectual potential, develop confidence and lifelong-learning skills to improve their prospects beyond school. Our trained, caring, and highly motivated teachers provide effective teaching while giving students the personal attention, advice, and support needed. With high standards that demand up-to-date teaching skills and a range of challenging programs, Beaconhouse School System brings success within the reach of every student.
At Beaconhouse Newlands we believe that all students are unique and should be treated as such. We recognize the individuality of each student and teachers use a wide variety of different approaches in their teaching to ensure high learning outcomes. In planning, they ensure all students are allowed to learn with confidence in a creative, imaginative, and innovative environment. Teachers ensure that students are exposed to problem-solving activities, learn life skills, strategic reasoning, and learn to have a flexible mindset. Teachers evaluate learning through feedback, presentations, and project work. Underpinning their teaching is the Mission and Vision of the Beaconhouse School System, the Beaconhouse Learner Profiles, and our aims in providing a holistic and rounded education. The curriculum emphasizes breadth, balance, and the integration of learning areas, whilst promoting a proactive, creative, and inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum also facilitates students’ personal growth by providing opportunities for students to learn about and act upon their responsibility to the community, and to reflect on the essential quality of traditional values, intellectual heritage, and cultural aspirations of their own and other communities.
