Our approach to learning

Our unique learning approach - The Bell Way - ensures you benefit from a learning experience that sees results.

 

Paving a pathway to your success.

Our unique learning approach – The Bell Way – is core to everything we do at Bell. It was developed by our academic team alongside an Emeritus Professor from the University of Cambridge. It is based on six core principles that shape all our programmes.

Strong academic skills for university

This programme particularly focuses on developing a strong foundation of academic skills to prepare you for advanced-level study at university. This will give you the best chance for success by removing potential barriers that international students often experience when going to a primarily English-speaking university.

Learning The Bell Way

Our six core learning principles

We will give you regular feedback

Assessment as learning

You will have regular 1-to-1 tutorials and written reports every 6 weeks, where your teachers will highlight your successes and identify areas for further development. You will also develop to become an independent learner, self-evaluating your work, ready for life at a UK university.

We will show you a clear path to your goals

Clarity of learning

In every lesson and activity, you will know exactly what your aims are, how to achieve them and what to do next. We will work with you to provide expert guidance for a successful university application, so you can get offers from universities that aligns with your personal goals and ambitions.

We never
stop learning

Organisational learning

We have a culture of continuous improvement through learning and education. We never stop learning or striving to be the best we can be – setting ourselves high expectations and challenging goals, just like the goals we set you.

We want you to be the best you can be

High expectations

To be really effective, lessons at Bell are challenging, interactive and enjoyable! We will challenge you to exceed you goals, not just achieve them. That is why over 85% of our students progressed to a top 30 university in the UK.

We will help you to learn everywhere

Learn everywhere

We will show you how to achieve your goals faster by including learning in every part of your day. We have a programme of lectures from experienced academic and industry professionals and we organise visits to top university cities to help you make your university choice.

We will adapt your learning to suit you

Unique individual

The way you learn is unique to you. We will work with you to create a personal study plan, designed around your learning needs and goals. You will also have regular meetings with our Higher Education Advisory Service to help you with your choice of university and application.
