There is a new member of the Beaconhouse family as of January 2005: the Beaconhouse Pre-School in Bangsar, Malaysia. With the joy of new parents, we have followed its development and rebirth from its initial stages as an existing, yet antiquated school, to a flourishing, refurbished jewel bearing the Beaconhouse colours and spirit. From the academic perspective, we have already seen extraordinary results from our introduction of Beaconhouse’s trademark Early Years Education curriculum. With brand new equipment, furniture and a high level of energy from the teaching and administration, Beaconhouse in Bangsar has introduced itself within the Malaysian pre-school educational community with distinction.

In addition to the physical transformation of the school, the Beaconhouse team worked diligently during the weeks and months preceding the start of the school year to retain the previous owner’s existing students and boost new enrollments as well. Of course, as the word spreads within the surrounding areas and the Beaconhouse brand becomes a permanent part of the educational landscape, we are confident that this number will increase.

I am also very pleased with our teaching staff. Our new, dedicated teachers are undergoing Beaconhouse training, and much progress has already been made toward the physical, social, musical and intellectual development of Bangsar’s Beaconhouse kids.

Please join me in recognizing, not only the achievement seen in opening the Bangsar location, but in the academic and developmental achievements of our Beaconhouse kids. Although the youngest member of the Beaconhouse family, the Bangsar school will work hard to shine brightly and be the light that lovingly develops our young students to prepare them for a life of continued learning.
