The Beacon platform
Beacon started as a full-featured system for a real homeschool co-op. Every feature below exists because a family or teacher needed it.
Gather and check in
When your group gathers, take attendance in seconds. Beacon records who's present at each co-op meeting and keeps the totals for the term.
Track real progress
Co-op teachers post grades and assignments for the classes they teach, so families always know where their student stands.
| Assignment | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Fractions Quiz | Sep 18 | 18/20 |
| Word Problems | Sep 25 | Complete |
| Unit 3 Test | Oct 2 | 88% |
| Multiplication Set | Oct 6 | A |
Plan with confidence
Map out the year, schedule lessons, and reuse your best plans across children and future years.
Be ready when it counts
Keep polished academic records for each student — ready when you need them for portfolios and college applications.
| Course | Credit | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| English I | 1.0 | A |
| Algebra I | 1.0 | A– |
| Biology | 1.0 | B+ |
| World History | 1.0 | A |
