  • Learn how we support college readiness of more than 2000 students attending colleges nationwide through our unique, family-centered programming
  • Tour our greatly expanded campus & new facilities
  • Meet with Beacon College president, students, faculty and staff ‒ and get an inside look at how we retained more than 90% of our class this year

Who Should Attend?

  • High School Counselors
  • High School Transition Coordinators
  • Educational Consultants
  • Psychologists
  • Other Education Professionals

Completion of this form does not guarantee your spot in the program.

Please note: due to limited space at these events, and the high demand for our unique mission, we can typically only accommodate one professional from each school or organization. We will usually ask you to select one representative from your location who would be best to visit Beacon and share their experience with others.
