Academy - Bright Futures Atlanta (BFA) operates a full day, August through May, fully accredited traditional school for middle and high school students. In a typical year we have anywhere between 75 to 95 students enrolled across grades 6 through 12. These students are offered all core educational classes as well as additional elective options. The goal of BFA is to give students an educational context for learning in which they are not distracted by the chaos of inner-city public schools.
After School - Bright Futures Atlanta operates a three hour after-school program Monday - Thursday for all BFA students. The Sharpening Skills for Success Program (S3) provides a combination of art, music and recreational activity to foster creativity, music appreciation and team dynamics. The program provides tutoring, homework help, art education, sports and recreation, music, devotion and dinner. Additionally, BFA has added a high tech computer lab complete w/coding computers, virtual reality machines and graphic design instruments. A state of the art media center complete with cameras, set, lighting and editing workroom have also been added.
Summer Camp - Bright Futures Atlanta operates a ten week summer camp with intense interaction and discipleship through devotion, character building, field trips, swimming and overnight excursions. Devotion and character building discussions are held daily to promote strong social conscience. Weekly outings are held to expose students to the arts, nature and other activities that they otherwise would not experience. Overnight activities are held to promote close friendships and team cohesiveness.
