Bachelor of Education - Elementary (Primary to Grade 6)

St. Francis Xavier University

Our two-year B.Ed. program integrates teaching, research, and service within an innovative learning environment. You’ll learn from professors who are themselves accomplished educators. B.Ed. students get the opportunity to get hands-on experience teaching abroad in their second year. Our students have done their practicum in destinations including Norway, Australia, Kenya, Iceland, and Scotland.The BEd is a two-year program following completion of an undergraduate degree. The program has two streams: Elementary (primary to grade 6) – Elementary education students must prepare to teach a wide range of subject fields due to the nature of the public elementary schools of Nova Scotia. Secondary (grades 7 to 12) – Secondary Education teachers are prepared to teach at least two subject fields normally taught in the public secondary schools of Nova Scotia (English, French, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education/Health Education, Gaelic, Spanish, Business, Family Studies, Spanish, Art, Music, Drama). Specialist programs in Physical Education and French are also available in both streams.
