**[PART III ‑ SUMMARY]{.underline}**

Provide a brief, coherent narrative snapshot of the school in one page
(approximately 475 words). Include at least a summary of the school's
mission or vision in the statement and begin the first sentence with the
school's name, city, and state.

Beacon Country Day School (BCDS) is a non-profit, independent school
located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Our mission is to offer an
enriched and accelerated educational experience for students in Junior
Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. It is designed to promote educational
excellence and to build character. We respect the value of each
individual, and develop the "total child" by providing a warm,
nurturing, positive, and supportive academic environment and culture, in
which students are challenged to develop a strong academic foundation,
knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills through a total learning
experience. Beacon is a State Champion for President's Physical Fitness,
and over half of our elementary and middle school students earn the
President's Academic Excellence Award.

In addition, BCDS provides opportunities to develop self esteem,
creativity, and a joy of learning. The school, in pursuit of educational
excellence, encourages life-long learning while maximizing each child's
potential and desire for personal excellence.

Students come to BCDS from the Denver metro area, with the majority
living in suburban communities. These suburban areas have a range of
social economic status. Greenwood Village itself is an affluent area,
with many upper middle class families. Most of the parents in our school
community are dual career professionals, who work hard to pay for our
private education.

Parents are involved in the life of the school community, participating
on committees, field trips, and enrichment activities. Their commitment
sends a strong message that education is valuable.

Although some of our students are of average ability, many are bright
and gifted. Some have mild learning disabilities. All demonstrate high
achievement on the basis of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. Students are
expected to achieve on a high level academically, both conceptually and
in skill development. Enrichment and acceleration are required to
provide challenge and meet educational needs. Once students complete
eighth grade, they enter private or public high schools, with many
selecting an International Baccalaureate Program or Advanced Placement
courses. College attendance is expected.

Our school climate is extraordinary: the positive, warm, nurturing, and
supportive environment is palpable. As a small school, we utilize an
accountability process and Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each
child. Differentiation is built into the program, so we may
individualize for each child in order to

optimize development. Strategies are used to maximize the development of
gifted learners.

Our population of 135-155 students per year has approximately 16% ethnic
diversity, which includes Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, and
Hispanics. This is very good considering our location in Greenwood
Village. We have approximately 40% girls and 60% boys. Small classes,
averaging in size from 15-18, enable close student-teacher
relationships. This also facilitates a strong parent-school
relationship, where all community members are known and valued.

**[PART IV -- INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS]{.underline}**

> **Private Schools**

1.  Report the school's assessment results in reading and mathematics
    for at least the last three years.

> a\. Disaggregate the data for any ethnic/racial or socioeconomic
> groups that comprise sufficient numbers to be statistically
> significant (generally 10 percent or more of the student body of the
> school). Show how all subgroups of students achieve at high levels or
> improve dramatically in achievement for at least three years. Explain
> any disparity among subgroups.
>
> Student assessment for the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) Reading
> Total and Math Total Subtests are attached. Student achievement is
> consistently high, with variation from class to class, depending upon
> individual differences. We follow students year by year in order to
> apply strategies which will increase every child's achievement.
>
> Disaggregating is used to look at differences between groups of
> students, such as sex, ethnicity, and learning disabilities. In the
> attached assessments, we have disaggregated for 2002 and, 2001 by
> ethnicity. Asians comprised 10% of the population, Caucasians 84%, and
> Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans combined are 6%. In 2000,
> Caucasians were disaggregated from all others, as no other group
> reached 10%.
>
> Because our population is relatively small, there may be as few as one
> child in a class representing an ethnic group. For example, in 2002,
> there was only one Asian in sixth grade, who scored 99% on the Reading
> Total Subtest. Thus, the mean reflects only one child's score. In
> 2001, an eighth grader, with learning disabilities, was the only
> Asian. His scores were extremely low, reflecting his deficits. We are
> careful to look more totally at the subgroups by disaggregating all
> ethnic groups in each subtest to look for trends. Disparity among
> subgroups is affected by our small population size. Most groups
> achieve at similar levels with scores being high. Our National School
> Percentiles are consistently very high.
>
> b\. Specify which groups, if any, are excluded from a test, the
> reasons for the exclusion, as well as the number and percentage of
> students excluded. Describe how these students are assessed.
>
> No groups or individuals were purposefully excluded. Some students
> were absent due to illness or travel. They were tested with the Wide
> Range Achievement Test (WRAT) to obtain April achievement scores.
> Although much less thorough, the WRAT provides grade equivalents in
> reading, spelling, and math, which are compared to class scores as
> well as the individual student's previous score to determine progress.
> In 2002, four students were absent. Two students were absent in 2001,
> and two students in 2000.
>
> c\. Attach all test data to the end of this application and continue
> to number the pages consecutively.
>
> **For Public and Private Schools**

2.  Show in one-half page (approximately 200 words) how the school uses
    assessment data to understand and improve student and school
    performance.

> Assessment data play a role in three ways. First, we analyze student
> test scores to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each child.
> This information is used in preparing each child's Individual
> Education Plan (IEP) and building any needed differentiation, or
> making referrals. Standardized assessment, using the Wide Range
> Achievement Test, is completed every three months, and the ITBS is
> administered annually to ensure every child learns.
>
> Second, faculty serving on school improvement committees examines
> assessment data. Disaggregating shows differences in achievement in
> subtests between ethnicity, sex, grade level, and ability. This offers
> an understanding of the skills of our students and the subgroups that
> comprise our population. (These subtest scores are valuable for
> determining the specific areas that need improvement. For example, if
> spelling scores are the lowest subtest in the language arts area,
> faculty may decide to make spelling improvement a goal.)
>
> Third, faculty examine rational reasons and research for the students'
> strengths and weaknesses and determine possible strategies and
> techniques to improve skills. Committees then formulate interventions.
> This process enables us to evaluate the curricula and pilot new
> programs, which must successfully pass assessment prior to school-wide
> adoption.

3.  Describe in one-half page how the school communicates student
    performance, including assessment data, to parents, students, and
    the community.

Beacon is a responsive school: four times a school year Parent
Conferences provide opportunity for parents and teachers to discuss each
child's achievement and needs. Parents receive a report card and summary
of learning units covered during the quarter. Issues that arise are
pursued. We encourage parents to speak with teachers or contact
administrators as necessary.

As part of our accountability program, we test each child's progress
with the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) every three months. Any
concerns arising from this testing kick in further evaluation or
referrals for remediation.

In March, and Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed for each
child for the coming year. The IEP enables faculty to provide
differentiation and accommodation for each child according to individual
strengths, weaknesses, and needs.

Annual assessments, using the ITBS and the WRAT, are completed each
April. We share these test scores with parents during May conferences,
where parents have an opportunity to discuss scores. Appropriate
modifications are added to the IEP.

Riverside Publishing provides our school percentiles, and our scores are
compared with the scores of other schools nationally. Our school
publishes these scores in the school paper, and distributes them to
local newspapers.

4.  Describe in one-half page how the school will share its successes
    with other schools.

Because communication is vital in the education field, we share our
successes with other schools. This occurs in several ways. First, we
prepare a written summary of our approach to achieving our goals for
others to read and use.

Also, to allow for first-hand information, we have a monthly open house
for professionals and parents who wish to visit our school. An overview
of the curricula and school is provided, with visits to classrooms and a
discussion period.

We also produce periodic presentations, with written documentation,
covering our approach to differentiation, enrichment, and acceleration.
We feel these processes greatly enhance student learning.

Our Principal is keen to make presentations for interested groups, speak
to professionals by phone, and otherwise be responsive to requests,
including sharing written materials and tools, which are utilized at
BCDS. Presentations have been made at national conferences, such as the
National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC) and the World Council For
Gifted and Talented Children.

**[PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION]{.underline}**

1.  Describe in one page the school's curriculum, including foreign
    languages (foreign language instruction is an eligibility
    requirement for middle, junior high, and high schools), and show how
    all students are engaged with significant content, based on high
    standards.

Curricula have been designed to develop strong academic foundations by
programming for the "whole" child. Instructional time on task is
maximized in academic areas and homework reinforces instruction.
Students are structured for success. Low-pressure techniques are coupled
with quality, challenging instruction, and high expectations. The school
day structure adheres to a master schedule to ensure all components of
curriculum are covered.

On a daily basis, students receive:

-   instructional math, math enrichment, and daily math review;

-   language arts (which includes spelling, handwriting, English
    grammar, and creative and expository writing);

-   social studies;

-   science;

-   French;

-   Higher level thinking skills and creative thought; and

-   Independent study.

Children in kindergarten and first grade have a supplemental reading
period. Students in second through eighth grades have independent study,
and learn how to plan, research, write, and edit independent projects.
On alternate days students receive:

-   art;

-   physical education;

-   music K-5^th^ grades;

-   drama in grades 6-8;

-   computer technology (7^th^ and 8^th^ grade use the lab daily); and

-   math enrichment

All students participate in a theater performance annually.
Interpersonal skills are taught from pre-kindergarten through eighth
grades, and include Transactional Analysis, Bully Proofing, DARE, and
refusal skills. Science Fair and Art Fair alternate yearly.

A new Student Council forms every two months, and researches, plans, and
completes a service project that benefits either the local or global
communities. Every student, first through eighth grade, participates on
a Council once each year. The Councils facilitate leadership skills,
communication, interpersonal skills, compassion, empathy, service, and
real life problem solving.

In Middle School, a preparation program prepares students for high-level
high schools or International Baccalaureate Programs. Students begin
pre-algebra in sixth grade and complete high school algebra I by eighth
grade. Some students also complete first year high school geometry or
algebra II. An additional period is added specifically for expository
writing. Study skills, research and writing, and seminars in psychology
are provided. A annual Spring Trip and Ropes Course offer team building
and experiential science, leadership skills, fun, and adventure!

All academic areas are enriched and accelerated to meet the needs of
bright and gifted students. Differentiation enables students to receive
appropriate instructional level work. Core academics are scheduled at
the same times for all classes, allowing students to attend the
appropriate class.

2.  (**Elementary Schools**) Describe in one-half page the school's
    reading curriculum, including a description of why the school chose
    this particular approach to reading.

Reading is a complex process that requires good readiness as well as
skill development and comprehension. A combination of several reading
programs is used for all children. These address different learning
styles, promote solid foundations, and enable teachers to reinforce
reading strengths and techniques while working on or overcoming
weaknesses. Whole Language supplements these programs.

Instructional reading begins with our four year olds by carefully
developing readiness skills. The curriculum includes fine and gross
motor development, visual perceptual stimulation, auditory processing,
and language development. Use of fun, game based phonics, and reading
readiness programs develop auditory discrimination, sound blending,
letter-sound associations, phonics, decoding skills, sight vocabulary,
and comprehension.

Kindergarten through third grades use three reading programs:

-   a phonetic linguistic program that focuses on phonics;

-   a literacy based program that provides a well rounded curricula; and

-   a traditional basal series that promotes skills using a range of
    reading material.

Fourth through eighth graders are exposed to additional literature and
analytical work in reading that is linked to writing. The students
continue to complete a basal reading program, a literacy based program,
and read novels. Expository writing is incorporated into the analytical
process.

3.  Describe in one-half page one other curriculum area of the school's
    choice and show how it relates to essential skills and knowledge
    based on the school's mission.

Although writing instruction is interconnected with reading instruction,
writing skills, overall, are based in language arts. This being said,
writing is facilitated across the curriculum, and is integrated into
reading, spelling, and English grammar for systematic skill development.
Step Up To Writing and the 6 + 1 Traits approach promote deliberate and
high caliber skills. Daily language activities reinforce editing and
accuracy.

Writing is an important part of work in all curricula, including Student
Council, research, Science Fair and Art Fair projects. Some student work
is submitted to story contests, and is often published.

Dictation and group writing are introduced in kindergarten, followed by
sentence formation and creative writing. Systematic instruction
continues throughout the grades.

In Middle School a half hour for expository writing is added. At this
point, students begin writing analytically, with assignments in
expository writing and instruction linked to readings in literature and
novels. Students learn to write a five-paragraph essay before going to
high school.

Effective written communication is a skill used throughout life,
creating personal growth and success. High expectations at our school
offer challenge and promote strong academic foundations. Students
experience success while developing self-esteem, creativity, and a joy
of learning with this positive and supportive approach.

4.  Describe in one-half page the different instructional methods the
    school uses to improve student learning.

Beacon's eclectic approach and complex curricula facilitate educational
excellence and develop the "whole" child. Instructional time on task is
maximized, with attention focused on mastery and learning styles.
Experiential and manipulative activities enhance learning. Although
expectations are high, activities are low pressure, and are fun!
Students are structured for success to maintain motivation and build
self-esteem. Success creates motivation and continued success.

Enrichment and acceleration are vital to learning, and are provided for
all students. Differentiation, the IEP, and periodic testing ensure that
each child is placed at the appropriate instructional levels for content
areas. An ongoing accountability process ensures each child learns and
develops optimally. Struggling children are identified and helped.

Our warm, supportive, and positive school climate is extremely
important. Every child feels known and valued. Small classes provide
individual attention. The school culture, which respects and values
human beings, promotes character and interpersonal skills.

The faculty and school are responsive to student needs. Parents
participate in the community, showing real interest and value in the
children's education.

Research based instruction strategies are deliberately built into
instructional work. We are teaching children that practice and setting
goals raises performance. Effort is rewarded and achievement is
recognized. Teacher involvement in school improvement is ongoing.

5.  Describe in one-half page the school's professional development
    program and its impact on improving student achievement.

Administrators and faculty do most of the school's professional
development, which includes all faculty. This provides tailored training
that meets faculty needs relating to the school's improvement process
and applies specifically to student needs. Most development involving
new research strategies and curriculum occurs at Inservice, which is
scheduled 10 days each year.

Occasionally, the entire faculty may go to a workshop. In November,
2001, all faculty attended a Love and Logic workshop. More often,
individual faculty go to specific workshops and training, then shares
information at Inservice and acts as a mentor. For example, two teachers
attended a Step Up To Writing workshop in August, 2002, then trained all
faculty over two Inservice days.

At times, experts come to Beacon to present information. This training
is geared to specific topics like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD), Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), or Project Wild. In
March, 2002, an expert presented a seminar on ADHD and SID for faculty.
In November, 2002, Project Wild staff trained teachers for a full day.

Also contributing to the school's professional development are
faculty-composed committees, which include all staff. They research and
set school-improvement goals and share their work with faculty. Faculty
then designs interventions and determines how to put them in place.

Faculty involvement has a significant impact on student achievement.
This active involvement with research and program development focuses on
student achievement and results in faculty understanding and commitment
to on going school improvement. This collegiality results in constantly
improving programs and student progress for all students. No child is
left behind.
