The Advisory Program which meets twice a week is set aside for small groups of students from different grade levels to explore topics of mutual interest or get individual support centered around social growth. Each student has an advisor to act as his or her advocate during all three years in middle school.

The Life Experiences Program is based on EPIC (Every Person Influences Children), a self-esteem program for students, parents and teachers that was primarily authored by Beacon's founder, Thelma Farley. EPIC is currently being used in schools nation-wide.
