The Parent/Guardian Interview, which can take place in-person or via Zoom, is a required part of our admissions process and provides an opportunity for the school to learn more about the applicant family and for parents/guardians to learn more about Beacon Academy. Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule your Parent/Guardian Interview in Ravenna. If you have any problems, please contact the Admissions Office.

Applicants to Beacon Academy are invited to attend classes with current Beacon students.  Students can sign up for a shadow day after they submit their application to Beacon Academy.  Shadow days are offered on designated days each week from November 2023 through January 2024.  Please schedule your shadow day through your Ravenna account. 

 

Beacon Academy requires letters of recommendation from your child's current English and math teacher as well as an advisor or school administrator. On the application page, under Additional Steps, scroll down to the step for each of the evaluations. There you will be prompted to enter the name and email address for each recommender. This can be done before or after the initial application is submitted. Forms will be sent electronically to each delegate and returned directly to Beacon Academy via Ravenna. The deadline for submitting letters of recommendation is January 8 for sibling applicants and February 2 for new applicants. 

Please print the Release of Information Request form in Ravenna, complete it, and submit it to your child's current school. We require the following materials as part of our admissions process:

 

We kindly request that records be uploaded into Ravenna and directed to Beacon Academy. If your school does not already have a Ravenna account, a complimentary school account for file upload can be created by contacting Ravenna. If records cannot be uploaded, please have the school email them to the Admissions Office. The deadline for submitting school records is January 8 for sibling applicants and February 2 for new applicants. 

Beacon Academy requests a copy of your child's recent standardized test results. Please note that we do not require students to take the ISEE; we accept MAP or any other standardized test result. If your child has not taken a standardized test, please contact the Admissions Office.

 

If your child receives learning support services or accommodations, please provide us with a copy of the 504/IEP/Learning Plan and neuropsychological evaluation. Documents may be uploaded as a PDF in Ravenna.
