Blended Learning Approach: Blended learning is an educational approach that combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace.

Field trips are an integral part of the PBL process whereby students are energized by the excitement and anticipation of leaving the school environment and have the opportunity to see new things and learn about them in a more unstructured way. Children experience a more
holistic, integrated picture of the information, learning is enriched and reinforced with superimposing sensory and intellectual inputs.

We understand how important it is that parents are aware of what is taking place in the classroom. The more supportive and involved parents are in their child’s education, the greater the odds that the child will be successful. We also invite experts to our schools who engage children in healthy discussions and share knowledge about their jobs and responsibilities.

PBL provides opportunities for students to use technology. Students are familiar with and enjoy using a variety of tech tools that are a perfect fit with PBL. With technology, teachers and students can not only find resources and information and create products, but also collaborate more effectively and connect with experts, partners and audience all around the world. All classrooms are equipped with latest technological resources such as computers, multi-media projectors, interactive whiteboards and tablets.

In order to provide a more individualized learning experience, we strive to maintain an ideal student teacher ratio.

There is an endless plethora of Ed-tech resources that have been introduced through the BSU platform which align with the curriculum. Discovery uses portals such as Edmodo, Google Classroom, Hangouts Meet, hence fast tracking the adoption of online learning, making
Beaconhouse a Hybrid organization where face-to-face and online interaction are optimally balanced to enhance efficiency and productivity. In a world where online engagement is important for businesses these students are becoming experts at developing a sense of internet presence.

Activities after school offer great developmental benefits that will help students academically and socially and play an important part in supporting learning. Engaging with new friends and being in a productive and new environment helps strengthen confidence and independence, realizing they are good at something boosts the child’s enthusiasm and confidence in a classroom.
