Diversity as an Integral Part of the Learning Experience
Distinctive among area schools, Beacon believes that diversity includes more than race, gender and culture; true diversity also involves acceptance of physical, communication and learning style differences, as well as varying economic and family circumstances.

We actively seek and support a thoroughly diverse faculty and student body and further celebrate diversity through our curriculum and community activities.

"Diversity is truly celebrated at Beacon. Maybe it is because every child develops such a strong sense of self esteem and appreciation for their schoolmates' unique characteristics that they do not need to look down on others or stereotype them. I am amazed that [my children] truly recognize that everyone is multi-faceted, and, although a classmate may not run as fast, he or she shines in some other area."
