What's In a Name?

The Personal:
Growing up in New England, the Atlantic Ocean has always played a role in our lives. Whether it was summering along the North Shore of Massachusetts as children, or now living part time on the Southern Coast of Maine, the ocean continues to inspire us.

The Metaphorical:
There is an undeniable call to innovate and adapt the educational system as we know it today in order to best serve our 21st century students.

At Beacon 21, we look at 21st century education as the guiding light in the open water: schools and educators all around the country realize what education should look like in this day and age. However, schools are far too often left without the proper guidance, or a personalized action plan for navigating these unchartered waters of innovative and systemic change. That’s where Beacon 21 comes in.
