We believe at BLS that students achieve optimal learning outcomes when they can effectively apply their knowledge to real-life situations and challenges. When students are provided with opportunities to access learning materials and transfer their knowledge to relevant contexts, it becomes clear that genuine learning has occurred. As a learning community, we embrace the responsibility of empowering and educating our students to become active participants in the political, social, and economic spheres of the 21st century. Our nurturing environment is dedicated to cultivating compassionate young individuals who possess the intellectual curiosity necessary for success in our interconnected global economy.
