Beacon Academy

Beacon Academy Beacon Academy serves low-income students living in Boston and surrounding urban areas.

Beacon Academy offers a 10-year program that prepares students from historically under-resourced and/or underrepresented communities to succeed in competitive high schools, colleges, and careers. Most (80%) of our students’ families live below the poverty level and the remainder of them live just above it. They don’t always have money for food, often experience instability in their housing, and ar

e plagued by job insecurity. Of our 247 graduates and 22 current students, 57% are Black, 28% Hispanic, 9% Biracial, 3% Caucasian, and 3% Asian. 140 are female-identifying and 129 are male-identifying. Most students become the first in their families to finish high school or complete college, and many break multi-generational cycles of teenage parenthood and adult poverty. In short, Beacon students represent the most underserved Boston residents; yet they have the grit, talent, and determination to change the trajectory of their lives.

The Class of 2026 has been busy with co-curriculars this quarter! They have mastered strategies in chess and made waves during intensive swim lessons at the West Roxbury YMCA — every student passed their swim test!

They also spiked their way through volleyball, showed off their moves in martial arts, and found their zen in yoga!
