Our Beliefs

Our communities matter.

• Our city, our neighborhood, our families, and our scholars are all integral parts of the Beacon College Prep community. We believe that we work better together and are committed to being a school rooted in the community.

Structure and joy foster academic and personal growth.

• A consistent and predictable environment filled with joy and pride will allow all members of the Beacon College Prep community to flourish. We believe that academic growth must be paired with personal growth.

Academic rigor leads to school success.

• We believe in pushing our scholars academically while providing them the individualized supports necessary to be successful. More time in reading and math combined with a prioritization on small group instruction lead to success for all scholars.

School success leads to college readiness.

• All scholars deserve access to a high quality education that leads them on the path to college. We believe in preparing our scholars with the academic and social skills to continue confidently on that path.

All students can be scholars and community leaders.

• Our scholars will learn the skills needed to be leaders inside and outside their classrooms. Equipped to succeed academically, we will also prepare them with the skills necessary to be agents of positive change within their communities.
