The Beacon Foundations Difference 100% LIVE — not self-paced — classes. FOUNDATIONS BEACON REAL-TIME ONLINE COURSES TO BUILD YOUR COLLEGE FUTURE FOUNDATIONS BEACON

We know that self-paced asynchronous classes aren’t the best way for students who learn differently to learn. Online classes that lack interaction with your professors and peers (that you can take whenever you feel like it) can be challenging and unsatisfying. All Beacon Foundations classes are 100% live . These are engaging, small, online classes taught in “real time” by Beacon College faculty who are skilled in online instruction. Best of all, you have the opportunity to interact with fellow students and get essential feedback on your academic performance from your professors — as opposed to just sitting and watching prerecorded classes, then posting comments and waiting for feedback. Our core courses are BUILDING BLOCKS for future college success. Classes in Beacon Foundations feature the same basic coursework required of most first-year students — including composition, math and technology — plus several introductory electives. The credits you earn are transferable to most colleges and universities, wherever you choose to further your education. Each semester you can earn as few as 3 or as many as 12 college credits, depending on your readiness and goals. SUPPORT is all around you. In addition to your professors, you are supported by learning skills professionals and a counselor.. They’ll help you evaluate your needs and guide you to select the best courses for your goals. Live coaching gives you feedback and support to develop your executive function skills. You’ll also participate in weekly 1-to-1 meetings to review your progress and ensure you’re staying on track — or figure out how to get back on track. You and your family also will work with a Beacon transition counselor who will help you plan for your next steps after completing the Beacon Foundations program.
