A New Frontier in Global Education: London Academy Partners with St. Mary’s University
In a landmark move for international teacher training, London Academy is proud to announce an official partnership with St. Mary’s University, London. This collaboration establishes London Academy as a premier Centre of Teaching Excellence, dedicated to cultivating the next generation of world-class educators.
By bridging the gap between rigorous academic theory and practical classroom mastery, this partnership offers a transformative pathway for aspiring teachers to gain globally recognized qualifications.
Raising the Standard of International Teaching
This partnership is built on a shared vision: to develop dedicated, high-caliber students who are ready to excel in the competitive landscape of international education. Through this alliance, students at London Academy can now access two of the most prestigious routes into the profession:
International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS): A UK government-backed teaching qualification that mirrors the high standards of domestic QTS, designed specifically for those teaching outside of England.
International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPGCE): A master’s level program that focuses on the pedagogy of international schooling, providing a deep dive into advanced teaching methodologies.
Why This Matters for Aspiring Educators
For students looking to launch a global career, this partnership offers more than just a certificate. It provides a structured environment where excellence is the baseline.
Direct Mentorship: Students will benefit from the academic heritage of St. Mary’s University—an institution renowned for its long history in teacher training—combined with the hands-on, high-performance environment of London Academy.
Global Portability: The iQTS and iPGCE are “gold standard” credentials. Whether a graduate dreams of teaching in Dubai, Singapore, New York, London, or here in Morocco, these qualifications open doors to the world’s most elite international schools.
A Culture of Excellence: As a Centre of Teaching Excellence, London Academy will serve as a hub for innovation, where research-led practice meets real-world application.
Shaping the Future, One Teacher at a Time
The demand for high-quality international education is at an all-time high. By partnering with St. Mary’s University, London Academy is ensuring that our students aren’t just joining the workforce—they are leading it. We are looking for the most passionate, driven individuals who see teaching not just as a job, but as a prestigious global calling.
