Our Program

Teaching is truly an opportunity to inspire a future generation. We have built our education program with today's children and classrooms in mind. From culturally diverse classrooms to children's various learning needs, teachers need to be prepared for the widely growing Canadian culture. Our education program equips teachers for public schools, First Nations settings, inclusive and multicultural classrooms as well as developing countries.

Prepare to teach in classrooms composed of diverse learners in today's schools. Identify student strengths and understand how to provide appropriate learning experiences during school years to develop and maximize those strengths. Ambrose graduates will be grounded in the belief that all children regardless of cultural or learning backgrounds can learn and reach their full potential given opportunity, effective teaching, and full resources.

The Bachelor of Education (after degree) is a two year program offered through an intense, 60 credit cohort program focusing on elementary (K-6) education in Alberta. Our program is accredited by the Province of Alberta.
