Community Partnerships
Our Extended Family.
At Brighter Choice Community School, our mission is student learning.
We pursue this objective within a safe, fun yet, rigorous learning environment that nurtures and promotes critical thinking skills.
Organizational Partnerships play a vital role in our community and neighborhood. Partnering with community organizations positively impacts student achievement and enriches their school experience.
