Action Based Enterprises

Beacon Charter Schools is dedicated to nurturing the unique talents and potential of students in grades 6 through 12, particularly those with diverse learning needs, including language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional students. The school's core mission revolves around fostering a supportive environment where creativity and academic excellence thrive together. With a strong emphasis on the arts, students engage in a variety of programs designed to cultivate their artistic abilities while receiving a solid foundation in core academic subjects. The Founders Academy at Beacon serves as an essential entry point for students, allowing them to explore rich arts programs that seamlessly integrate with their academic growth. As students transition into Beacon Charter High School for the Arts, they benefit from a college preparatory curriculum that includes hands-on experiences in specialized areas such as Theatre Arts, Visual Arts, and Culinary Arts. What sets Beacon apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, which fosters individualized attention and strong family partnerships. This unique approach not only enhances the educational experience but also strengthens community ties through engaging events that celebrate student achievements and creativity.

Achievement First Iluminar Mayoral Academy Elementary School is a public charter school in Cranston serving kindergarten through 4th grade. We belong to Achievement First, a network that grew from Amistad Academy, which opened in New Haven in 1999 with 84 fifth and sixth graders, and now serves about 15,000 students in 41 schools across Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island. Our Rhode Island schools serve students from Providence, North Providence, Warwick and Cranston, and every student is admitted through a blind lottery. We provide transportation, and the school is also near the #28 bus line. Alongside core academics and literacy, students take dance, drama and physical education. We meet students where they are while holding high expectations. A Special Education Local Advisory Committee of parents, teachers, administrators and related service providers such as social workers, psychologists and speech-language pathologists works to strengthen services for students with IEPs.
