Our Mission
To provide challenge, develop thinking skills, foster creativity, ignite intellectual curiosity and promote joyful learning.
Our Campus
Beacon is located on Commerce Road near the Old Greenwich border in Stamford. Our spacious facility centers around a student lounge in which students have the freedom to work independently, collaborate in groups, play music and socialize. Classes take place in comfortable classrooms that facilitate discussion and interaction. Highlights include our open art studio, professional dance studio, new science lab, cafe-style dining hall and the dueling baby grands in the student lounge.
How It Works
Students enrolled in Beacon Summer Academy’s Enrichment Camp select three courses to investigate in a four-week program based in their individual passions. In these project-based courses, Beacon’s dedicated faculty works closely with students in a hands-on setting, encouraging them to think deeply, engage creatively and grow as learners. Students may also elect to pursue advanced one-on-one courses to further enrich their individualized programs. Each Beacon Summer Academy session culminates in a student exhibition where students showcase their work for friends and family.
