SM School of Education

Learn to teach by teaching.

A flagship professional school named in honour of Dr. Seema Mughal, Vice Chancellor, and built as a living teacher-education lab. Students don't only study education — they learn how it works in real classrooms, supporting teachers at Edvia, Greenwich Global College and partner community schools.

A living teacher-education lab

Students learn how education works in real classrooms — planning lessons, managing classrooms, understanding children, assessing fairly, using technology and leading schools. Named in honour of Dr. Seema Mughal, Vice Chancellor.

Teaching Practice Framework

Real classrooms — on campus and in the community.

Greenwich education students don't only train in the Model Classroom. Through a structured framework, they support real teachers in real classrooms — strengthening those schools while building their own practice. Three live partners make this possible.

Three partner channels

Two are on the Greenwich campus; the third extends into the community through a formal MoU.
