Academics are good because they adhere to a pretty solid IB program and the teachers are competent. The facilities are so-so and the school atmosphere is nowhere as vibrant as other international schools. The student body is simply too small and homogenous to be truly international. It is not supportive of students with special needs. On the other hand, the teacher-student ratio is quite good--a desirable consequence of having so few students.
Administration is disappointing because compared to more established international schools in Manila, they are narrow minded, bureaucratic and insensitive to students and families. While they impressively call themselves a "Filipno Community IB World School" they fall short.

My son went to Beacon Academy as a shy, somewhat introverted student, quite unsure of himself and his plans for the future. After just 3 years at the Beacon Academy, he has found his voice and has learned to develop career goals and self-management skills. Beacon Academy teaches not just academic skills, but coping and lifelong learning skills as well!

My daughter studied and spent four precious years of high school in the Beacon Academy where she was seen, heard and vallued. She came out from this experience ready for collge and brave enough to face life's many challenges.
