School Profile
Bright Futures Academy
School Overview
Bright Futures Academy has a mission to promote the spiritual, academic and physical growth of its youth participants and their families through year-round programs. The organization's activities and guidance are aimed at instilling a passion for learning, resulting in lasting social change. We shall accomplish this through discipleship, using Christian-based character-building techniques, and through the educational curriculum at the school. Our vision is to create a footprint of positive and sustainable impact throughout the Grove Park community in west Atlanta. To do this, we will provide the means and motivation for participating youth to grow, prosper and succeed throughout their middle- and high-school years in anticipation of attending college and becoming self-sufficient in their adult life.
School History
Bright Futures Academy was founded in 2009 and provides unique educational, social and spiritual opportunities for adolescents and their families in inner-city Atlanta. As a way to break the cycle of too-early parenthood, glorification of criminality and criticism of academic achievement, year-round programs are offered in an environment conducive to learning, for the physical and spiritual growth of participants.
