Beacon Academy opened its doors on September 7, 2004 to 93 students in grades K-3. Over the next several years, the school has added grades and currently is a K-8 school with 425 students enrolled for the coming school year.

Nasha Shkola is a school focused on Russian language and culture open to all students.  A Russian Language and Culture program is presented to all children in all grades every day.

We are the only school in Minnesota that teaches Russian language and culture in the elementary years. During this class time, students learn to speak, read, and write in Russian.

Note: This school has a sister school, Raleigh Academy.

Our schools were built on a model for school success that includes a strong focus on leadership, learning environment, pedagogy and curriculum, assessment and student and family support systems.  As we’ve developed, we’ve enhanced this model through our involvement with a school wide Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) focus and a Response to Intervention (RTI) model that includes supports for reading, math and behavior.
