Bierwood approaches Education vastly different than the majority of educational institutions. Brierwood believes education should be useful, practical and provide a benefit to the student and the society as a whole. Brierwood takes a different approach to child education, we focus on establishing core social behaviours, core knowledge and work to develop the individual. After the basics of education are provided, students have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge in a broad range of fields with specialized certification and diploma programs. These specialized certifications and diploma programs are also avaliable to life-long learners and those wishing to upgrade their knowledge base. Brierwood also provides higher level degree programs. It is not about our reputation or our prestige for Brierwood, it the success of our students, which highlights our values of an exceptional educational experience to our students. Why does Brierwood offer all levels of education? Brierwood education starts with infants and spans the lifetime of the student with certificate, diploma and degree programs. My regional education system is different than Brierwood. Once the core of brierwood education is provided for, efforts are made to ensure that all local, provincial, state, federal, national, geographical requirements are met. Having an education which is recognized is important to ensure benefits which certain credentials offer. Can I get credit for life experience? No. You only can get credit for successfully completed course work. If I do not pass, will I still pass due to the 'nobody left behind policy'? No. If you do not pass, you do not pass. Those who do not pass, will be left behind. Can I get an honary diploma certificate, diploma or degree by paying or contributing to brierwood? No. Paying for a certificate, diploma or degree underminds the system. We do not offer this. Is Brierwood Accredited? Yes and No. Each division and program goes through seperate accredication processes, often through different accrediation bodies, depending on the program and the location which it is being used in. This is done to ensure the highest quality of education is provided for. Being without accredication for a specific program does not make it any less valuable.
