Who We Are
ABOUT US
MORNING VERSE
Our morning verse is recited by each student and staff member every morning at Brighten Academy. These words serve as our nourishment for the day and are an important reminder that at Brighten we care about each other, academic excellence, and good work.
MISSION & CORE BELIEFS
The mission of Brighten Academy is to nurture habits of scholarship and ethical character in a joyful, engaging, rigorous, and equitable learning environment. Inspired educators, in partnership with parents and the community, will ensure measured growth in every student every year and empower students to create a brighter future for our world.

7 Cs OF CHARACTER
Brighten’s founders created the 7 Cs to guide how we educate the whole child and prepare students to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens. As our work with EL Education deepened, the framework evolved into the 7 Cs of Character: commitment, critical thinking, culture, curiosity, community, creativity, and craftsmanship.
The Green Party celebrates students who complete all 7 Cs projects by mid-January, recognizing them as candidates for the prestigious 7 Cs Green Shirt.
EL EDUCATION
Although our mission and core beliefs provided strong roots to anchor our school, we needed a better support system to manage our growing enrollment and staff. We needed consistent practices and approaches to bridge the gap between new and old and to poise us for success. We intentionally decided to evaluate instructional models against our mission and 7 Cs as our goal was to enhance our program and accentuate what was working and aligned with our core values. This led us to EL Education.
