Welcome
Helping students navigate the challenges of school, work and life in the digital society.
How can we train today’s students to take on jobs that do not yet exist? How can we prepare today’s students to tackle societal challenges that we can’t yet imagine?
The world is evolving faster than our educational models can keep up. In the 21st century, the focus has shifted from what students know to how they can best learn and use that knowledge.
This is why we need 21st century competencies such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, problem solving, creativity and resilience among others.
At Beyond Education, we foster these competencies in secondary school students.
