Our Model

We select all-rounders who (a) have the capacity to 'take people with them' and (b) are already making a difference now. We enable them to access top schools and universities through scholarships using a stakeholder model: education costs are split 1/3 Beacon Partners; 1/3 Beacon; and 1/3 Parents, Sponsors or Guardians. Each Scholar connects with their individual Mentor regularly to review Performance Targets. We offer a Leadership Development Curriculum over a 4-year cycle, and Scholars must do a Citizenship Project every summer.
