PREFACE
The Beaconhouse School System is one of the largest private school networks in the world.
Established in November 1975 Beaconhouse has since grown to a global network of private
schools, institute, and universities giving education to over 244,000 students from pre-school to
post-graduation. Beaconhouse school system has now grown into an international company
with independent divisions in nine countries!!! Its activities extend beyond education in some
countries.
Beaconhouse School System Gulshan Middle II was established in 2011 and we all hope that it
flourishes on. It is a huge branch approximately 3-4 thousand yards and the ground is 1500
yards. The children in our school learn in many different styles. They learn through audio-visual
aids example having Skype sessions with authors of their book, multimedia, or their physical
sense using a hands-on approach.
