The Beacon School provides students with an exceptional well-rounded educational experience designed to promote independent and critical thinking, communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills. Inquiry and critical thinking are at the center of teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to question, take responsibility for their own learning, and actively engage in the work of the classroom and the community. We expect our students to be curious, intellectually agile, open-minded, kind, and empathetic. Student skill development and content mastery at Beacon are assessed through discipline-appropriate performance assessment tasks. These tasks allow for the demonstration of a full picture of what students know and can do through problem-solving, creative expression, research, writing, and presentation in a variety of media. The Beacon school also has a well developed arts program that includes, Music, Dance, Theater, Film, Photography, and Fine arts.
