Our son is a senior at Beacon, and he/we have had an outstanding experience. The leadership is smart and caring, the kids are nice and eclectic, and the space is fresh and innovative. The IB curriculum is great.

I am a student at Beacon Academy, and am very fortunate to say that I have, so far, had THE best experience. Not only are teachers always there to provide new/more resources, but when being in the building itself, one can FEEL the sense of community. Class sizes being small allows for a student to truly understand the concept they are currently working with. It also opens the door for one on one work with teachers.

I absolutely love Beacon. I transferred into the school halfway through the school year and everyone was very welcoming. I think the best part of the school is the teachers, who are always willing to help us and talk with us outside of class, whether it be about the class or something else entirely. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have gone to Beacon.

Great school my son had a great experience in 5th grade. The fifth-grade guy teacher made learning alive and fun with the use of fish tanks in his classroom.
