Meet The Experts

Committed to Lifting Student Outcomes

Beacon’s specialized Center for College Readiness staff supports students and families throughout their college journey.

In more than 30 years of providing wrap-around higher education degrees exclusively to students who learn differently, our experts have learned what students need to be successful in college, how to assess college readiness — and how to build those skills before students arrive on campus. We began in 2016 with the Summer for Success immersion program for high school students. In 2018, we began to offer Navigator PREP exclusively to incoming Beacon College students, to prepare them for our campus and introduce them to Beacon’s resources. Recognizing the success of this program in preparing that class, and the global need for this personalized program, we expanded Navigator PREP in 2019 to students attending any college.

Now, these family-centered programs have helped nearly 2,000 students enroll at their college or university of choice, nationwide. We have added new programs each year, intentionally designed to fill gaps in traditional college resources, and to help students and families address their needs at each stage of the college journey. Our staff of specially trained transition counselors work individually with students and families around the world, helping them prepare for their own personal college goals.
