School provides the map, but life is an uncharted journey. At Beacon Learners, we move beyond these to equip students with tools for that journey: a compass of critical thinking, the vessel of confident communication, and the resilience to navigate their own path. We prepare them not just for exams, but to find their purpose and make their mark in an interconnected world.
Workshops | Gifts For You | Literacy Club
This holiday, build real-world skills at Beacon Learners' Holiday Workshop.
We emphasize in the small group size of 5-8 students for a very personalized attention.
Workshop 1: MoneyWise: Financial Planning
Taught by a financial expert in a fun, game-based environment.
Give your child a lifelong head start. More than math: it's life skills.
Partner with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and an accountant.
Teaching a child to save is about more than coins in a piggy bank—it's about planting the seed for a lifetime of confident, independent choices. A financial planning workshop gives them the tools to understand value, distinguish between needs and wants, and set achievable goals. This early foundation transforms money from a source of mystery or anxiety into a manageable tool, building a sense of responsibility and security that will support their decisions in education, careers, and life long after the workshop ends. It's one of the most practical gifts you can give for their future.
Core Concept: A Financial Planning Workshop for Kids:
- Needs vs. Wants: The classic, foundational game.
- Goal-Setting for a something they wish to: Create a real savings plan.
- The Power of Small Savings: Simple compound interest demonstrations.
- The "Income & Jar" Budget: Assign a fictional income:
- To allocate to jars: For Spending, Saving, Giving, and Investing.
Workshop 2: Pause. Think. Speak: The Debating Workshop
This is not just a school skill; it is the toolkit they need to become discerning thinkers.
Equip your child with the ultimate superpower: clear thinking and confident speaking.
Let them be confident in their own judgment and resilient in a world of misleading information.
In today's digital world, teaching children the art of debate is more vital than ever. It's about giving them more than just a voice; it's about empowering them with the critical thinking skills to navigate an information landscape cluttered with misinformation and 'fake news'. A debate workshop teaches them to distinguish fact from opinion, to question sensational claims, and to build their arguments on solid evidence. This isn't just preparation for school—it's an essential life skill, equipping them to be discerning citizens, resilient against falsehoods, and confident in their ability to think for themselves.
Core Concept: Debating Workshop on Fake News & Critical Thinking
1. Expert Angle: This is one of our strongest subject-matter fit.
2. Constructive Rebuttal: How to disagree respectfully and logically.
3. The "Claim-Evidence-Reasoning" Framework: The core tool for building arguments.
4. Fact, Opinion, or Fake?: Interactive session analyzing headlines and social media posts.
5. Friendly Mini-Debates: On light, relatable topics (e.g., "Homework is more helpful than harmful").
