The Beaconhouse Newsletter Clifton Campus
The First Word Dear Parents/ Guardians, Assalam-o-alaikum! We welcome you to the Beaconhouse School System, Clifton Campus. We are positive that the experiential learning opportunities provided to your child here will help him/her in developing a whole round personality. At Clifton Campus, the emphasis is always on each student’s active participation in curricular and co-curricular activities and it plays a vital role in their physical and emotional growth. The child’s experience during the Early Years lay the foundation for all future learning. Research indicates that the rapid rate of development that occurs in the physical, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic domains is particularly significant. We at Beaconhouse keep all the aspects of child development in mind while planning these activities. Through a variety of inquiry based learning opportunities we facilitate the child in developing as an independent learner. Meaningful use of information and technology tools helps in enhancing their learning outcome to enable them to face the challenges of the 21st Century. The Beaconhouse School Clifton Campus aims to provide quality education of an international standard. We aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people. Our mission is to create an environment where student learn to exceed expectations and to become socially responsible, passionate global citizen who are prepared to meet the challenges of the wider world.
