Going to StFX for Education was one of the best choices of my life! The life and professional experiences I gained are beyond measure. – Samantha Zanini, Class of 2011
The St FX education program not only prepared me by providing me with the necessary skills, resources, and practical time in the classroom, but it more importantly provided me with the confidence in my teaching ability to transfer those skills to a classroom abroad. As a recent graduate, I have been teaching in England for the past 8 months where I have continued to build on my skills in the classroom and gain valuable experience. I very much appreciate and credit the Education Department at St FX University for a large part of my success. – Heather Profitt, Class of 2010

After finishing my undergrad degree at X it was obvious I would want to be back for my education degree. Two years later I look back and realize that the world is ready for me and I am ready for the world, with lifelong friends, top class professors, and amazing memories to support me. I know my teaching career will always reflect my experience at X. X is dynamite. - Kyle Sarka, Class of 2010
The StFX Bachelor of Education program was an experience that I urge all students that are thinking of becoming teachers to seriously consider. The faculty members are all very knowledgeable and experienced teachers and are excited to share their diverse and progressive ideas and strategies with their students.

The St F.X. BEd programs strikes an excellent balance between purposeful course work and meaningful field experiences. Your course work will be focused on the creation of meaningful lessons and resources that you will use in the classroom. Your field experiences are designed to be challenging, engaging, and provide you with a real understanding of what being a teacher actually requires. When finished not only will you feel completely prepared to take on your own teaching position, but you will have the resources to make it happen. – Brennan MacDonald, Class of 2010
