Beaconhouse Mission Statement
Beaconhouse aims to provide quality education of an international standard. We aim for excellence through quality management, quality training and quality teaching, bringing benefit to our students, the community and the wider world.
Our Vision
Beaconhouse values the right of every child to discover his or her potential
through the acquisition of knowledge, skills and values in a caring and
supportive environment. The Beaconhouse system upholds the freedom of
each child to think, create and discover, based on an informed
understanding of their cultural and spiritual traditions, whilst respecting
the cultures and spiritual insights of others. We believe the human mind
grows best in a spirit of freedom and co-operation. We promote equal
opportunities for all our children and young people irrespective of gender
and of religious, social or ethnic background.
We believe in developing responsible citizenship and social responsibility
by precept and example. We provide an environment for learning that
promotes independent, creative and critical thought. We provide a friendly
and supportive environment that not only enhances the self-esteem of
each child but also challenges each one to develop their understanding,
skills, abilities and talents to the full.
At Beaconhouse, we expect and demand high standards from all our
students and staff and we celebrate their diversity and achievements.
Beaconhouse values its traditions and builds upon them as it continuously
looks to the future.
Beaconhouse Learner Profile
Introduction
The Beaconhouse learner profile has been developed to incorporate the Beaconhouse
mission of providing quality education of an international standard into a set of learning
outcomes relevant in the 21st century. The attributes of the learner profile express a set
of values and beliefs intrinsic for supporting all our students in their transitioning from
school to the world of work and civil responsibility. These attributes are consistent
through the Early Years, Primary, Middle and Secondary schools. The Beaconhouse
learner profile supports a professional learning community where students are
empowered, nurtured and inspired to learn and reach their potential. These attributes
encourage students to be more actively engaged beyond schooling into a complex
geo-political world, where compassion for and understanding of themselves and others
will contribute to a humane world.
Aim of the Beaconhouse learner profile
Our students come from a variety of social, cultural and economic backgrounds, not only
nationally but also internationally. Our students are our brand ambassadors. The learner
profile shares common attributes which forge ties with all students in Beaconhouse
schools both within Pakistan and internationally.
Beaconhouse promotes holistic learning of the student, emphasizing the educational,
emotional and physical needs through the domains of learning-the cognitive, affective
and psychomotor. By focusing on the dynamic combination of knowledge, skills, creative
and innovative thought and global awareness, the Beaconhouse learner profile prepares
our students as lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
As a key component of a Beaconhouse education, the learner profile is a central tenet of
our curriculum and the values embedded within it.
Implementation of the learner profile
The curriculum itself alone cannot implement the learner profile. The educators in
schools will model the values of the learner profile and share in the development of a
professional learning community that promotes accountability, responsibility and
empowerment of all its members. The Beaconhouse learner profile is an organic
document and will thrive only to the extent that it is lived out as a model of exemplary
humane, personal and professional conduct.
