BEAL INNOVATES

The 21st century is accelerating at a phenomenal rate and our learners need to be prepared for a quickly changing world. Information is readily available for everyone to access. An ability to recall information is not enough.

The Beal Innovative Learning Program will focus on teaching students to be curious, ask questions, explore, synthesize and create. Students will be encouraged to take risks and make mistakes in a safe environment. Through project-based learning, students will gain a well-rounded education focused on developing the skills necessary to be successful in the future. All learning will be connected to current real-world issues, both globally and locally.

​

The HB Beal Innovative Learning Program is an alternative to the traditional classroom. The trans-formative learning experiences at Beal Innovative Learning Program are designed to help our students grow both in and out of the classroom. In the face of tremendous change, our students will need to have different skills. Hence, education will no longer just be about “knowing”, but will require us to focus on the development of numerous other skills. We need to arm our students with the ability to learn whatever is coming their way. Contact us to learn more about Beal Innovates!

An Unpredictable Future
The average high school student in Canada will change careers 5 times in his/her life.  The increase in global competition, digitization and robotization make this the new reality.  In the face of such tremendous change, our students will need to have different skills. Hence, education will no longer just be about “knowing”, but will require us to focus on the development  of numerous other skills.  We need to arm our students with the ability to learn whatever is coming their way.
