Calling all Montessori Educators with an Entrepreneurial Spirit!
It’s not every day that you get to CHANGE THE WORLD from the ground up.
About Beacon Academy
BEACON ACADEMY is a new micro-school for children ages 3-14 in Stokesdale, NC, with a mission to inspire every person who walks through our doors to find a calling and change the world. Learners form a community in mixed-age classrooms, we call “studios,” where they develop the skills to become independent learners and contributing citizens in their collaborative space. Our Spark Studio for ages 3-6 follows Montessori philosophy and methods in the morning, and learners participate in what we call “Spark Play” in the afternoons. Our Discovery Studio learners, ages 6-12, continue on their Montessori journey, and use adaptive technology and hands-on projects as they progress towards independent learning.
