Welcome to Beacon Academy Charter
School
A Tuition-Free Public School
Beacon
Academy is a small, caring school enhancing children's eagerness to learn
through a challenging, content-rich curriculum, daily Spanish experiences beginning
in Kindergarten, positive character building projects and many
opportunities for parent involvement.
 Teachers address
children's individual strengths and needs through a variety of teaching
styles and learning experiences. Staff and students thrive and grow at
Beacon Academy through an exciting, research-based curriculum and a
supportive, caring climate.
Children build
second language proficiency while mastering English, reading, math,
history, geography and science at their level. Music and arts experiences stimulate
creativity and brain development. Phy. Ed. and outdoor experiences keep
both bodies and minds active and healthy.
Beacon
Academy opened in the fall of 2004 with grades K-3. In the fall
of 2008 we will have two classes per grade covering K-8. Enrollment
is approximately 400 students and we are located in a former public
school building on Highway 55 in Plymouth.
What makes
Beacon Academy different from most other Core Knowledge
schools is the inclusion of comprehensive Spanish instruction at each grade
level. Spanish is used daily to enrich specific lessons in many classrooms.
Beacon Academy is not an immersion school but a FLES-language program that
includes daily instruction in Spanish along with supplemental Spanish
instruction in other curricula areas.
