BeyondU Education makes learning and discovering a sense of one’s own unique identity very special experiences when growing up. No matter what age children join, the school is committed to nurturing intellectual curiosity and emboldening children to flourish as open-minded, principled and resilient members of a global community.
Currently housed in a shop unit within a golf resort – The Club @ Bukit Utama – the school provides dual benefits of a safe and peaceful environment that conveniently connects to all the city has to offer. The facilities to hand are augmented by the resort’s amenities, namely an Olympic-size swimming pool, and a tennis, badminton, table tennis and squash court. The environment is stimulating and supportive where character, creativity and courage are celebrated.
The founding values that the school upholds reflect a desire to merge libraries of different teaching approaches with the latest in technology tools and resources, opening gateways to a truly individualized and custom learning experience. The school leads in the provision of an all-rounded education that not only focuses on acquiring the best academic qualifications, but also one that develops skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century, fosters strong personal qualities, and supports a diversity of interests and passions. Most importantly, one that allows children to enjoy their time in school.
We put back the life into learning making learning a thrill not a chore. Mr. Martin Hansell, Co-Founder of BeyondU Education
An education at BeyondU is delivered via a broad-based British curriculum that is internationally focused and forward looking. Within the framework, it aims to address learning in all its forms:
Individual principles based on biblical values, self-management, interpersonal skills, leadership and personal qualities that enable children to face the future with confidence. Children will be able to adapt to any given situation and be flexible to explore the fast-changing future.
Solid conceptual understanding of core and subject specific learning, extending to the development of critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills.
Involvement in real-world experiences with industry professionals, ranging from writing and academic disciplines to sports and arts.
The learning model encourages children, parents and teachers to make connections with one another. Family-school partnerships and parental involvement are central to children’s learning. Supportive structures are well integrated with the school’s overall mission and goals. Real-time communication, accessibility to progress reports, parental involvement activities, parent-learner workshops help increase learner achievement and success.
Meticulous care for each child and a deep passion for learning characterise the teachers. They respect unique learning needs, allowing children to identify their strengths and talents, and find fulfillment in their passions; they motivate the inquisitiveness in children and personalise support to ensure children realise their full potential and are on track to success. Along with regular low-stress assessments, they guide children to thrive as active, confident, internationally-minded, lifelong learners.
The enriched curriculum is complemented by an extensive co-curricular programme which also allows children to work with peers at the school’s language centre – Beta Gramma – in collaborative projects. An upcoming project scheduled for November this year includes a musical where children will get to participate in creative set design, costume and makeup, and the production itself.
Beta Gramma is an owner-operated English language centre of BeyondU Education. The centre offers a selection of programmes, listed below, to help children aged 4 to 16 years reach their language learning goals.
An essential programme that works on the four aspects of language learning – reading and comprehension, writing processes and forms, conversational and academic speaking and listening, and vocabulary and grammar skills.
Performance-based learning encourages children to think out loud. It challenges children to build inner confidence to present and perform, and strengthens their outward communication skills to express and interact.
By the end of the studies, children will demonstrate advanced proficiency in the key areas of English usage, including reading appreciation, and creative and academic writing.
Lessons are designed to refine skills required to excel in graded exams – Cambridge Checkpoint, IGCSE, IELTS and more. Strategies to write, respond, argue and persuade best prepare children for the challenges of exams.
It is the school’s bold plan to continue to inspire our community to strive for educational excellence in the hope to, one day, transform the local educational landscape. Every aspect is intended to equip children with the competencies they need, along with a sense of purpose, to shape their own lives and contribute to the lives of others. This vision plus strategic actions will lead to strengthen BeyondU Education as a strong leader in the industry.
We have only just begun to scratch the surface of all that encompasses a BeyondU education. If you are reading this as someone who has not come across BeyondU Education, definitely pay a visit. It is a very special place.
