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.
How You Can Help
Your donation to the following areas is greatly needed:
McKay School students are learning to model the attributes of Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher. Funds for student teachers and interns provide full-tuition scholarships for elementary, early childhood, special education, or secondary education majors during their capstone classroom experiences when they are unlikely to have outside employment.
The Educational Leadership program provides a whole souled education designed to bless and build students as Christ-centered disciple leaders who see each individual as a cherished child of a loving God (see Omni 1:26). Students in this master’s program are educators who are planning to become principals, vice principals, administrators, or other educational leaders.
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, was, and is, a designer. "All things were made by him" (see John 1:3, 10), through design processes (see Moses 3:5), design attributes (see Alma 42:15), working within a design community (see Abraham 4:1), and because of divine love and empathy (see 1 Nephi 11:13-33). Master’s degree students plan to become 1) instructional designers in higher education, corporate, and government settings, or 2) researchers who are considering doctoral degrees and future academic careers.
In conjunction with the university’s Inspiring Learning initiative, the McKay School is providing students with life-changing learning opportunities through mentoring, experiential learning, and innovative teaching.
