Beacon Academy

One of Roycemores strengths is being able to support students with social emotional health. Everyone has bad days, and many faculty members and teachers are ready to support the students that express needing extra support. Roycemore values a students well being a lot, and makes students feel comfortable in having a safe space.

I am the parent of two children who started at Chiaravalle as toddlers and are currently in 5th and 7th grades. Chiaravalle is an incredible learning environment that focuses not just on reading, math, etc., but also on social-emotional learning. The mixed-age classrooms have helped teach our children about leadership, and the integrated, self-directed curriculum has given them a love of learning. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and have helped us navigate a wide variety of opportunities and challenges as our children have grown. I cannot think of a place that is better suited toward helping children flourish on their journey from toddler to young adulthood.

A+. We transferred to St. A's from public school and it has been the best thing that's happened to our child's education in Evanston. Classes are challenging. Kids are held to deadlines each week. Disruptive behavior in classes is not an issue. Thoughtfulness is part of the learning. We are grateful and lucky that there was a spot open at the school, because we're now able to watch our child expand and reach upwards, rather than just attend school.

My husband and I feel incredibly blessed to have been part of this school community. The academic program is both challenging and nurturing, helping students grow intellectually while building confidence and a love of learning. The teachers truly care about each child’s success and provide thoughtful support to ensure every student reaches their potential.What sets this school apart is the strong foundation in faith that is woven into daily learning. The emphasis on religious values, character development, and compassion creates a positive and uplifting environment where children feel safe, respected, and inspired.From the classroom teachers to the administrative team, everyone works together to create a supportive and welcoming atmosphere. We are grateful that our child got to experience the commitment PJ23 shows to excellence in education and faith formation.
