Beacon Academy: A Montessori Education, Experiential Learning, I-Term and Travel Webinar
Beacon Academy is a Montessori-based high school that merges independent school best practices and challenging IB curriculum with independence, freedom, and a student-centered approach.
Please join us to learn more about Beacon Academy in this webinar. During this webinar, Beacon Academy administrators and teachers will discuss how Montessori principles are interwoven into the everyday life of Beacon Academy students. We will also discuss how Beacon uses the Chicagoland area as its extended classroom on a daily basis and the opportunities that BA students have to apply what they learn in the classroom to the outside world through both domestic and international travel.
