Parents

It probably won’t surprise you to learn that Beacon College was founded by a group of parents over 25 years ago. These College Founders were searching for the right college for their students. They quickly became discouraged when they discovered the inadequate services offered at traditional colleges and universities. While certainly today more robust services are available at colleges nationwide, these services do not compare to those offered at Beacon College. Why is Beacon’s educational environment so unique? Because the entire College—every aspect of the College—is focused on your student’s individual learning needs and your student’s success beyond Beacon College.

At a more traditional college or university the conversation does not revolve around how to make the curriculum and learning more available to students who learn differently. Faculty typically use teaching techniques geared to the average learner. They do not tackle the tougher issues of teaching to a variety of different learning styles. This is why the Beacon College faculty is different and why your student becomes so empowered and confident in their ability to learn. The faculty possess the passion and commitment to reach every student-learner, regardless of the challenge. It is assumed that every student admitted to Beacon College has the intellectual capacity to achieve both in their studies at Beacon, and also be successful in the workplace.

You know your student better than anyone. You know how important it is to select the right college; for this is a unique chapter in your student’s life. The college journey represents the transition to independence and responsible adulthood that can be daunting for many students with learning differences. At Beacon College our job is devoted to your student’s ability to lead a full and rewarding life. Poised for the future and prepared to accomplish. Based on Beacon’s remarkable student outcomes “we are the best at what we do.”
