Year Round / Extended Year Schooling
Beacon Elementary is the only truly year-round (September through August) school in the Bay Area.

The Early Childhood and Elementary school are year-round. Classes are in session for 48 weeks providing a stimulating, and safe learning environment available all year. Parents have maximum flexibility to plan outings and family travel without concern for lost instructional time due to Beacon's emphasis on small group and individual instruction.

"The school fits the schedule of [a] 2 working parent family and not vice versa."

See the CNN.com article called, "Put a plug in the summer brain drain" by Audrey Schewe, CNN posted Friday, June 30, 2006.

Beacon Middle School has an extended year schedule with classes in session from September through mid-July.

In addition, an enriched after-school program, guided by staff who also work with the students in the classroom, is available until 6:00 pm.
