Beacon College

    Beacon College is a specialized school for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD. This school was founded on the hope for a change, and passion for helping people who are determined to be successful, but find learning to be a struggle. Beacon College offers programs such as History, Psychology, Business Management English Literature, Art and much more. The programs are designed and chooses as right brain thinking programs, which is the side of the brain many people with learning disorders generally use. Also, at Beacon College all of the professors are certified to work with people with learning problems, and they use special teaching techniques that are not usually used in a regular school. This is not to say that the work is easier, and that the students are not going to get a proper education. The work is just as challenging, it is not a free ride for these students. The lessons are just taught differently and in a smaller classroom. I find it very necessary to have schools like this because having a learning disorder put a lot of committed students at a disadvantage. In today's society, having a school like this is a blessing, whereas not too long ago, problems such as ADHD and dyslexia were not understood yet. The students who had these problems were simply labeled as stupid and destined to fail. Nobody should ever have a better chance at their dream life simple because of their mental roadblocks. I hope in the future to see more post secondary schools opened up for the mass amount of students who need to be taught differently and in different environments.
