Beacon Hill School is dedicated to the fundamental philosophy, “The future belongs to those who prepare.” To achieve this goal, Beacon Hill fosters the holistic development of each child. At Beacon Hill School, the goal of schooling is to help each child grow into a knowledgeable, responsible adult who can find personal meaning and satisfaction in using his/her skills, talents, and creativity. This focus requires cognitive and intellectual, physical, aesthetic, social, emotional, moral, and spiritual development and growth in a caring, supportive environment that enables each child to reach his/her maximum potential and feel pride in his/her accomplishments. Thoughtfully planned, age appropriate programs taught by experienced certified teachers ensure the growth and development of each child.

All of the teachers at Beacon Hill School are certified by the State of Florida and the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. Masters degrees are held by many of the faculty members. Our faculty represents over 160 years of experience in the field of education.

Our Early Childhood teachers have all completed their Early Childhood requirements and all have had background checks.

The specialty teachers at Beacon Hill School include Physical Education, Art, Music, Spanish, and Computer Studies are all facilitated by professionals in their fields.

Beacon Hill School differs from most Broward County Schools. We do not adhere to the September 1st cutoff date for placement in each grade level, rather we use a cutoff with December 31. This, however, will necessitate special arrangements with the county schools should a transfer occur. Additionally, we have an enhanced calendar. All students must wear school uniforms. Our uniform contact is Ibiley.

The school is comprised of three departments: The Early Childhood Department, the Elementary, and Middle School.
