Emulate the
Master Teacher


We strive to model the attributes of Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher, as we prepare professionals who educate with an eternal perspective.

For the Benefit of the World

At the BYU McKay School of Education, our inspiration is Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher. We educate for eternity, knowing that every person is a child of God with a divine nature and destiny.

Learning, for us, is life-giving—it’s why McKay School students commit to serving in challenging and noble professions, and why McKay School faculty dedicate themselves to being leading scholars, outstanding teachers, and role models of living the gospel.

As faculty, staff, and administrators, we devote our minds and spirits to our work, so we can nurture the full potential in others—for the benefit of the world.

"At the McKay School, we can share our gifts of light as we strive to model the attributes of Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher.' This is more than our mission statement; this is a sacred responsibility—one that we embrace as educators and that we impress upon our students as they prepare to become educators, counselors, and clinicians.”
