Beacon Academy is a purposefully crafted, independent private high school catering to students from Evanston, Chicago, and the surrounding suburbs. Our educational approach at Beacon is influenced by Montessori principles, best practices from independent schools, and a rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. We blend experiential learning, entrepreneurial thinking, and in-depth disciplinary studies to provide students with a well-rounded education.

Through a deep understanding of adolescent brain science, Beacon Academy strives to enrich and prepare students for life by creating an empowering environment that encourages independence, choice, and curiosity.

Our emphasis on strong student-faculty connections fosters a sense of community and provides students with a safe space to develop into their fullest selves. We prioritize ensuring that each student is known and valued by their educators, preserving and nurturing their self-esteem, and fostering supportive relationships among peers.

At Beacon Academy, we embrace and celebrate intellectual, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity, fostering a culture of acceptance that ensures every student feels recognized and appreciated.
