For individuals who are passionate about shaping the next generation through a meaningful and fulfilling career, joining the secondary profile provides an opportunity to make a difference every day.

At Bishop’s University, the Secondary English Education program is designed to cultivate a passion for literature, writing, and cultural studies while preparing future educators to teach and inspire the next generation. The curriculum balances foundational courses with specialized electives, creating a program that stands out among English teacher education pathways.

By integrating rigorous academic coursework in English and Canadian literature, creative writing, and media studies with hands-on teaching strategies, the program equips students to foster engaging, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating classroom environments. Its emphasis on social justice, decolonization, and culturally responsive teaching ensures that future educators are prepared to promote empathy, diversity, and critical discourse—helping students not only to read and write but also to reflect thoughtfully on the world around them.
