Beacon College was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) institution for higher learning on May 24, 1989. The concept for the College was put forth by a group of parents concerned about higher education opportunities for students with learning disabilities. Responding to this concern, the initial trustees founded Beacon College. The College embraces the student with learning disabilities by providing educational opportunities that acknowledge individual learning differences. Beacon College is located in Leesburg, Florida, approximately 50 miles northwest of Orlando. The Orlando International Airport accommodates students traveling from a distance to our campus.
