TOWARDS 2035
THE SCHOOL OF TOMORROW
TNS Beaconhouse was established in 2007 in Gulberg, Lahore, as a direct consequence of the first-ever international conference on education in Pakistan, ‘Towards 2035: The School of Tomorrow’, hosted by the Beaconhouse Group in 2005. The conference addressed the changing role of education and the nature of schools over the next 30 years and beyond. A clear consensus pointed towards a rapidly globalizing economy for which a new type of worker is required – one that can learn and adapt; keep pace with and anticipate progress in every field. The vision of a dynamic learning environment at TNS was heavily influenced by the learning philosophies expounded by many of the speakers at the conference.
GUIDING
STATEMENT
ACADEMIC
PHILOSOPHY
The curriculum and teaching methodology at TNS Beaconhouse is designed to ensure that each child achieves their individual potential. We cultivate a classroom environment that is visually engaging and rich in resources for both students and teachers.
We value and respect our students and expect the same in return. This policy of mutual trust is evident in our relationships, our actions, our behavioural expectations, especially in the voice of the student council.
At TNS Beaconhouse, our curriculum objectives extend beyond just knowledge and skills. We also prioritise the development of positive attitudes and values. The staff works hard to ensure that curricular objectives are realistic and are concerned with developing each child’s individual academic and social strengths. At TNS Beaconhouse, we ensure an enjoyable learning experience where students find value in the process of work as well as the work itself.
