Beacon College is a private college in Leesburg, Florida, United States. It was founded in 1989 and designed with curriculum and support services to serve students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other specific learning disabilities.
This is a strong option specifically for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning disabilities — it's one of the very few accredited colleges built entirely around that mission, which makes it genuinely different from schools that simply offer accommodations as an afterthought. The numbers tell a mixed story, though: a 57% graduation rate means roughly 4 in 10 students don't finish, and the $36,576 annual net price is steep for a small school in Leesburg with limited name recognition in the job market. If your student needs a highly structured, LD-focused environment and the cost is manageable, it's worth a serious look — but have a clear plan for how the degree translates to post-graduation income given the investment.
