Our Students
BEC welcomes students from a wide variety of schools, neighborhoods, cultures, perspectives and backgrounds that reflect the diversity of their regions. We seek to enroll diverse classes of students with the shared ambition to pursue early college education. We accomplish this through proactive recruitment and our qualitative admissions process. At BEC, students drive the classroom experience as well as the school community, as students direct clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities. We encourage students to pursue their passions, and faculty and staff help facilitate that through individualized attention and robust support services.
