For students in our Pathway Program, BEAM provides up to 10 years of comprehensive support.

BEAM's programs are designed to meet students where they are, inspire their further love of mathematics, and create a realistic pathway toward careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Summer After 6^th Grade

Students first get to know BEAM at BEAM Discovery in the summer after 6^th grade. They spend five weeks learning advanced math, making friends with others who love math, and building the skills, confidence, and self-identity for success.

Summer After 7^th Grade

In the summer after 7^th grade, students begin the Pathway Program at Summer Away, where they spend three weeks on a college campus learning proof-based math, building a community of peers, developing independence, and having fun.

8^th Grade

During 8^th grade, in the Pathway Program, the focus is on two critical milestones for later success: finding a strong, good-fit high school and completing Algebra 1.

High School

BEAM provides opportunities for students throughout high school, including weekend classes, special trips and lab visits, drop-in office hours, and individualized support applying to other STEM programs, internships, and college.

COLLEGE

BEAM supports all students through their first year of college, and STEM majors throughout college, helping them with everything from understanding prerequisites to navigating financial aid to finding the resources they need to persist and thrive academically and socially. We also help connect students to internships and career opportunities, and provide direct financial aid to students, including a small number of college scholarships.
