The TeachBeyond Way
We hold to a collection of characteristics and qualities called the “TeachBeyond Way” that influence our approach to the way we carry out our mission.
1. OUR CALLING TO “TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATION”
We are called to be Gospel-centered educators delivering transformational education services. Transformational education is the simple yet profound belief that children and adults can undergo redemptive, holistic transformation through the power of God’s Word and by His Holy Spirit active in people through education, making them increasingly like Christ in their world. We pursue heart-mind transformation which aligns with God the Creator’s design while trusting the Spirit for complete transformation into the image of Christ. We understand that the Spirit frequently uses excellent educational environments to transform individuals, which cascades to communities and beyond.

2. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE IDEA OF TEACHING BEYOND
We are committed to teaching beyond one-dimensional, utilitarian forms of education to a comprehensive, holistic approach that fosters personal growth and enduring social benefit. The word “beyond” calls us to:
- Teaching with an attitude of teachability
- Teaching creatively in formal and informal settings
- Teaching for all nations
- Teaching contextually in local communities while always thinking beyond the geographic and cultural boundaries
- Teaching “for all,” not neglecting the poor and vulnerable
4. OUR VISION TO FOSTER A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
We are part of a global community of like-minded people. We envision this community becoming a vibrant global movement used by the Spirit to impact our world in redemptive ways. We see ourselves supporting this movement through the services we provide.
5. OUR MULTI-ETHNIC COMPOSITION AND UNIFYING ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
We seek to be as ethnically rich and diverse as the Church itself. Our organisational structure fosters a cooperative spirit and ensures that we work together in effective ways that extend local and national endeavors. We view our national legal offices to be expressions of TeachBeyond and derivatives of a global community committed to the ideals of TeachBeyond.
6. OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
We ascribe to the statement of faith of the World Evangelical Alliance.
7. OUR VALUES
We ascribe to and embrace ten values which inform our beliefs, guide our actions, and define our character: faith, integrity, holiness, love for people, creativity, cultural relevance, congeniality, partnering with others, excellence, and stewardship.
