The Beaconhouse Learner Profile
The Beaconhouse Learner Profile translates BSS’ mission of benefitting students, the community
and the wider world into a set of attributes essential for holistic development. The Learner Profile
embodies values and beliefs that are essential for students to learn and grow into responsible citizens
of the world. These values are consistent throughout Beaconhouse’s Early Years, Primary, Middle
and Secondary schools. The Learner Profile helps to create a community of learners who are
empowered, inspired and aware. With these attributes, students are empowered to actively engage
with the complex world beyond schooling – a world to which they can contribute with compassion
and a sense of responsibility. Beaconhouse learners aim to be creative and innovative, analytical,
resolute, inquisitive, empathetic, globally aware, ethical, healthy and active, and digitally literate.
Investing in Teachers
Since its inception, BSS has maintained a tradition of providing exceptional teacher training in line
with the latest research within the education sector. Collaborating with institutions such as the
Moray House School of Education in Scotland, the College of St Mark & St John, and the
Universities of Bradford and Exeter in the UK, Beaconhouse has consistently invested in a rich
programme of professional development and support for its teaching and school leadership staff.
Indeed, it is often considered by other private schools in Pakistan to be a reliable source for trained
teachers.
Professional development programmes at Beaconhouse operate at multiple levels from entry-level
to post-graduate certificate level, leading ultimately to Masters in Education qualifications from the
UK. Entry-level training is mandatory, while more advanced training is open to motivated teachers.
In addition to formal teacher training, Beaconhouse offers a range of needs-based training including
programmes in education technology, SEN, Student Counselling, Project-Based Learning, the
International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Exams, and much more. Some of these
programmes are offered by Beaconhouse on its own, while others are offered in collaboration with
external partners such as the IBO, CIE, Buck Institute for Education, TeachThought, Beaconhouse
National University, and many others. Most training is delivered in Pakistan while some of it is
delivered internationally.
