Welcome to Beacon Education
Accrediting Excellence, Supporting Growth
At Beacon Education, we’re not here to tweak the status quo. We’re here to reimagine education from the ground up.
We believe the future of learning is already unfolding in microschools, hybrid programs, and learner-centered models across the country. It’s just waiting to be recognized, supported, and scaled.
Beacon is the umbrella for two aligned but distinct entities:
Beacon Education Institute, a nonprofit accrediting body built specifically for schools serving 10–100 students. We provide rigorous yet flexible accreditation for schools operating outside the traditional mold.
Beacon Network, a school support agency that helps founders manage the operational side of running a school, from compliance and communications to enrollment, marketing, and growth strategy.
Together, we shine a light on the exceptional work happening in small, mission-driven schools.
We are more than an accrediting body. More than a consulting firm.
We are a partner in purpose, helping innovative educators build and sustain schools that truly serve students.
The traditional system wasn’t built for the curious, the creative, or the different, for the dreamers.
