      DETAILS
      General Info
      Beacon College Prep will lead elementary students to superior academic achievement, cultivate their talents and interests, and foster admirable character traits to build strong foundations that empower their success to-and-through college. We believe that preparation for college must begin in kindergarten because access to a college education is arguably more important today than at any point in history. By 2020, an estimated 123 million American jobs will require a college education, but only 50 million Americans are projected to have college degrees. Conversely, the projected 150 million Americans without college degrees will be competing for the only 44 million American jobs that are classified as “low-skill.” * Couple this gloomy foreshadowing with the fact that only 8%* of students from low-income communities currently graduate from college by the time they are 24, and our urgency to deliver a high-quality elementary education for our students is emphatically punctuated. We believe that it takes a lot more than just proficiency on standardized assessments to be prepared for college: It takes solid academic foundations rooted in critical thinking and literacy, strong character attributes, and enthusiastic participation in extracurricular activities. When students enter college, they must be well rounded, independent, and intrinsically motivated enough to successfully complete their degree. Beacon College Prep is dedicated to instilling these attributes in our students starting as early as kindergarten so that they can become successful, happy and productive citizens.

      Amenities
      Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that operate under a performance contract which frees them from many regulations created for traditional public schools, while holding them accountable for academic and financial results. The charter contract between the charter school governing board and the district authorizes the school’s mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment, and ways to measure success. Charter schools are funded through the Florida Education Finance Program in the same way as all other public schools in the school district. The charter school receives operating funds from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) based on the number of full-time (FTE) students enrolled.
