About this school
The Beacon Academy is an independent, non-profit, co-educational school established in 2009 that offers a six-year college-preparatory programme for students of all nationalities in Grades 7 to 12. Its vision is to be an exemplary Filipino school that is faithful to its mission, of consequence to the country and relevant internationally.
The Academy is an IB World School, offering the IB Middle Years Programme in Grades 7–10 and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11–12, and it is accredited by the Philippine Department of Education. Teaching is inquiry-based and uses the Harkness Method, a discussion-centred approach developed at Phillips Exeter Academy, with the ten attributes of the IB Learner Profile guiding student development.
College and career counselling helps students find, apply to and succeed at local and international universities. Personal leadership is developed through student-led, faculty-mentored clubs, outreach programmes, arts and athletics. The school is a small, inclusive community with students from diverse backgrounds and offers scholarships and financial aid. Its 9-hectare campus lies beside Ayala Westgrove's Beacon Gate in Biñan, Laguna.
