BRIGHTEN ACADEMY K-8th

Brighten Academy was the first charter school in Georgia that was started by a group of teachers. The educators who led the founding of our school aspired to provide a fertile foundation from which we could grow so that we could transform the way students learn and educators teach in our county and beyond. Before the first architectural plan was reviewed, first staff member hired, or first dollar was spent on the school, the Founders invested in developing our mission and core beliefs. The mission and core beliefs were developed in 2005, and we opened our doors to about 275 students in August of 2006. Still today, at a school of 819 students, the mission, along with our morning verse, are recited and celebrated each morning. These words represent our roots, our hopes, and our commitment to excellence. 7 Cs of Character
