    The Beacon Academy Student-Parent Handbook 1 W elcome to Beacon! This handbook contains information about Beacon Academy rules, procedures, and policies. Please take the time to read it carefully. The rules and policies of the Beacon Academy are determined by the Trustees, Faculty, and Administration, and may be revised as needed during the school year. This handbook does not limit the authority of the Academy to revise its rules and procedures to suit any unusual circumstances. 2 ABOUT THE BEACON ACADEMY The Beacon Academy Vision The Beacon Academy is founded to be an exemplary secondary school -- faithful to its mission, of consequence to the country, and relevant internationally. The Beacon Academy Mission The Beacon Academy is an independent secondary school committed to academic excellence, citizenship, integrity, and the education of the whole student. It strives to be a learning community in which the collaborative search for understanding fosters thoughtful discourse, knowledge of self and the world community, and personal relationships that enhance moral character, mutual respect, and compassion. The Academy trusts in the strength and optimism of its students and their capacity to change the world. The Academy Identity Logo The Beacon Academy’s logo is an embodiment of the concepts of “zero” and “infinity.” Zero, “discovered” by Hindu Academics, ushered in a new age in mathematics and allowed for the idea of creating value from nothing. Infinity, on the other hand, suggests limitless possibilities or solutions. These concepts are expressed graphically in the form of a Mobius strip, implying a journey along a defined and retraceable path -- knowledge, experiences, and values that are constantly revisited, traveled upon, and reaffirmed.
