DescThe school- Over Beacon Academy's intensive 14 months, 8+ hour school days include intense and high level academic instruction, co-curricular programming, study halls and then 2-3 hours of homework. Beacon starts in July with 5-weeks of summer school, continues through the academic year, and a second summer of individually tailored academic and enrichment programs. Experienced teachers, small classes and an engaging, rigorous curriculum ensure that students gain at least two years of learning in one year to prepare them for success in the competitive secondary schools. In addition to intensive math, english and facing history courses, students take research and advocacy and mini courses in science and latin. Beacon students also participate in community service learning, nutrition and sports education and activities designed to increase their cultural fluency.Desc

DescAlumni Program - The alumni program facilitates important and continuous connections between Beacon Alumni and our staff, volunteers, coaches and mentors. This ongoing engagement, support and guidance ensure our Alumni's successs through high school, college and beyond. We know that our students, much like their peers from the same zip codes, face ongoing obstacles including a lack of rigorus academic preparation, campus isolation and the need for financial aid. Beacon addresses these issues in the following ways: Five annual community alumni events, college preparation and application support, emergency funds, deep and ongoing relationships. Despite the best intentions of the fine institutions that accept and fund our students, Beacon graduates encounter racism, isolation and other obstacles to their success in high school and college. The Beacon Academy Alumni Program guarantees support, guidance and a community of achievement through high school, college and beyond. Alumni Program Components: Scheduled Alumni Events: We host many annual events such as a high school and college seminars, a homecoming dance, a holiday party, college visits and advising, and a graduation luncheon, which creates an ongoing alumni community. College Support: We have actively developed our college support component of our alumni program. Components include: our own guide book designed to help students who are not familiar with the college application process, sat prep, essay writing workshops, interview preparation, advising, college visits and access to gap funding. Emergency Fund: Students may apply to Beacon for ancillary items not covered by tuition to help them be full participants in high school and college such as eyeglasses, textbooks, field trip expenses and athletic equipment. Ongoing Relationships: Our small size and intense relationships endure. Students articulate that they turn to Beacon friends first when struggling with issues of financial aid, domestic abuse or the college application process.Desc

Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization MissionBeacon Academy provides a transformational year between 8th & 9th grades to promising, motivated and hard-working students from Boston and surrounding urban areas. Inspired by a challenging curriculum and stimulating co-curricular experiences, students learn vital academic skills and develop habits of mind that empower them to change the trajectory of their lives. They emerge as active learners with increased confidence, critical thinking skills, and broader vision, prepared to thrive at competitive, independent and public exam high schools that share our commitment to their success.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization MissionBEACON ACADEMY IDENTIFIES, CONFRONTS AND BRIDGES THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP BETWEEN BOSTON'S LOW-INCOME URBAN STUDENTS AND THEIR MORE AFFLUENT PEERS. OUR MISSION IS TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF OUR STUDENTS' LIVES THROUGH ACCESS TO EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. WE PROVIDE AN EXTRA 14 MONTHS OF FULL-TIME SCHOOL FOR PROMISING AND MOTIVATED URBAN STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE 8TH GRADE, BUT WHO ARE UNDERPREPARED FOR CHALLENGING INDEPENDENT HIGH SCHOOLS. BEACON HAS THREE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS: OUR 14 MONTH SCHOOL, OUR ALUMNI PROGRAM AND OUR STRATEGIC OUTREACH TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES IN EDUCATING URBAN YOUTH. BEACON ACADEMY IS THE ONLY SCHOOL OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY. OUR STUDENTS ARRIVE AT BEACON ACADEMY DRAMATICALLY UNDEREDUCATED AND UNDERPREPARED. MANY HAVE NEVER WRITTEN FORMAL ESSAYS AND ARE MISSING KEY MATH SKILLS AND OTHER BASIC KNOWLEDGE. THIS LACK OF QUALITY PREPARATION PERPETUATES THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THAT CHARACTERIZES TOO MUCH OF URBAN BOSTON AND SURROUNDING AREAS. NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY'S REPORT, "GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE" STATES THAT ONLY 7.5% OF STUDENTS OF COLOR FROM NON-EXAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL COMPLETE A TWO OR FOUR YEAR DEGREE WITHIN SEVEN YEARS OF ENTERING COLLEGE. FURTHER, THE FEW WHO DO MOVE ON TO HIGHER EDUCATION ARE NOT ADEQUATELY PREPARED AND ARE OFTEN PLACED IN REMEDIAL COLLEGE CLASSES. IN CONTRAST: 100% OF THE BEACON STUDENTS FROM OUR CLASSES HAVE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. 90% OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ENROLLED IN COLLEGE. 80% OF BEACON'S FOUNDING CLASS IS SLATED TO GRADUATE FROM FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES WITHIN SIX YEARS OF STARTING. COLLECTIVELY, OUR STUDENTS HAVE EARNED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS. BEACON MITIGATES THE CRISIS IN EDUCATION AMONG ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED YOUTHS THROUGH OUR INTENSE ACADEMIC PROGRAM AND OUR CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN OUR GRADUATES.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B:There are no other committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11a:Each member of the board of directors is provided with a copy of Form 990. Form 990 is reviewed by the head of school and the treasurer prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15:The head of school's compensation is determined after a review and evaluation by a subcommittee of the board of directors. Other employees are managed by the head of school and the board of directors approves final compensation of employees and officers.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19:The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request. The Organization also has its annual report and other information available via Guidestar.org
