Success in a changing world
Our education system needs to change to help our young people develop the skills, knowledge, values and relationships that will enable them to access and create jobs of the future, to be active citizens and to tackle increasingly complex challenges.
Competing locally and contributing globally
Signature Schools offer an opportunity for businesses, community organizations, government departments and industry associations to become a Signature Learning Partner and to help shape Bermuda’s future. Education is everyone's business.
Signature Learning Partnerships help deliver the kinds of authentic, real world learning experiences that young Bermudians need to build the knowledge, skills and dispositions to compete locally and contribute globally.
Bermuda's industries and communities are stepping up to bring relevance and sector expertise into Signature Learning. They are contributing inside the classroom by co-teaching modules and designing real-world projects, as well as extending learning beyond the school walls through internships, work placements, facility access, field trips and employment compacts.
