The 'Why?'
The moment you walk into BeaverTails Education, you know the difference. The world is changing and, so, we must change with it. Adjusting the layout of the classroom and tweaking courses is easy. We believe must give students the ability to adjust and adapt to the ever changing world. Here lies the real education, preparing students for the unknown and providing the environment for them to fail, get up, and try again.
We place a high value on literacy. We want every student to be able to read and to begin to use the English language to communicate, think, provide opinions, and support arguments.

Change it up!
We adjust the layout of our classroom every few weeks. The shifting the layout of a classroom gives students a new environment to explore, learn, or play with a group of friends.
