Choosing the Right Program
Decisions, Decisions
Each year, the Center for College Readiness proactively evaluates the experiences and challenges that are facing new college students today. We use this data to identify skill deficits and opportunities that are not currently addressed by traditional college counseling — and develop college readiness options to support students at every stage of the process.
As a result, Beacon offers a variety of programs based on a student’s current age, stage of the college search, or specific needs. The breadth and diversity of these programs can make it hard to determine which program is the best fit for your family. The table below is designed for you to compare and contrast these programs at a glance.
