About BEST
History
BEST was established in 2015 to fill a gap in curriculum development for private post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. Over the years additional services and products were added to meet the demand and the changes in education in various institutions across Canada. The advent of the pandemic meant another expansion for the business to offer expertise and support for online teaching and learning. BEST is growing and is now looking to add new team members.
Our Logo
The selection stemmed from the fact that the fleur-de-lis is an iconic yet modern symbol, much like curriculum provides a bridge between a solid foundation and a modern-day application. The fleur-de-lis is often found on the north point of a compass underpinning forward direction and in this case, towards quality in education. If you are wondering if we speak and can do work in French, yes we can. Just ask; we will be happy to provide details.
