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.

for a new school, it has a great community and culture. the athletics are weak but no cut teams are a plus. the focus on ib program is definitely a bonus however other standard classes aren't very rigorous. overall a nice environment filled with kind people

As a current student moving off to college soon it is a time to reflect and definitely appreciate the opportunity given by the high school I have had the privilege of going to. The school has been good to me and it has offered me interactions with friends and staff that have chances of lasting through even college. Upon entering you will be greeted with welcome smiles from all faces and individuals that want you to feel as welcome as possible in our space.

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.
