Teachers at Albert School: Innovating Education through Expertise

The role of professionals as teachers

‍

At Albert School, the teaching faculty includes seasoned professionals who bring a wealth of industry experience to the classroom. This approach is very important in bridging the gap between theory and practice, providing students with real world insights into the business world. By collaborating with industry leaders, Albert School ensures that its curriculum remains relevant and impactful, preparing in the best way possible students for the challenges of the modern workplace.

The concept of professionals serving as educators is not entirely new, but Albert School has taken it to the next level by fully integrating industry experts into its teaching model. This integration addresses a real gap in traditional education systems, where academic theory often lacks practical application. At Albert School, the emphasis is on creating a learning environment where students can understand the real-world applications of their studies.

The importance of professional teaching

‍

‍

In traditional universities, the disconnect between classroom teachings and real-life work later in life often results in graduates who are theoretically knowledgeable yet practically inexperienced. Educators with substantial industry experience are essential for addressing this gap, offering students an education that is both comprehensive and applicable.

Professional teachers bring a dual perspective to the classroom: they understand the academic framework and know the practical applications of that knowledge. This duality equips students with the skills needed to transition seamlessly from the classroom to the boardroom.

‍

Recent studies indicate that students who learn from industry professionals are more likely to secure employment within six months of graduation. Feedback from students highlights a 40% increase in understanding complex business concepts when taught by someone actively engaged in the field. This increased comprehension is attributed to the practical examples and insights that professional teachers can provide.

To illustrate the importance of professional teaching, our students successfully secured jobs at some of the world’s most prestigious firms, notably LVMH, Pictet, Nestlé, AirFrance, BNP Paribas, and so much more. These companies actively hire from our students.
