This app serves as a companion and guide to students enrolled in Beacon College's Summer for Success program. It provides effortless access to the upcoming events, daily schedule, campus locations, and much more. Beacon College's summer program aims to give college-bound high school students who learn differently the skills, confidence and preparation to successfully transition from high school. We do so by helping them better understand their learning differences, recognize early stumbling blocks and know what they need to succeed in their first year of college. Our core courses are structured to meaningfully prepare students for college to be more effective and confident learners. Most importantly, rising juniors, seniors, and new graduates get to experience what it’s like to live — and learn — on a college campus.
