Organizations Filed Purposes: AS A K-12 EDUCATIONAL NONPROFIT, WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY STUDENT - NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE - DESERVES A GREAT EDUCATION AND A WEB OF SUPPORT. WE PROVIDE WEB-BASED TOOLS, TRAINING AND PERSONALIZED ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AND REMOTE SETTINGS TO FURTHER OUR MISSION.

PROVIDE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO STUDENTS, EDUCATORS AND PARENTS TO IMPROVE LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT.

DURING THE 2018-19 FISCAL YEAR, BRIGHTWAYS LEARNING CONTINUED THE ORGANIZATION'S MOMENTUM AND FOCUS OF ITS GOAL TO FILL GAPS IN EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF K-12 STUDENTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THEM THROUGH COLLABORATIVE ENGAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS. BRIGHTWAYS LEARNING SPECIALIZES IN RURAL AND REMOTE EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS AND COMMUNITIES, BECAUSE EVERY CHILD, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, DESERVES A GREAT EDUCATION AND A BRIGHT FUTURE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN RECEIVING EXCELLENT REVIEWS FROM SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER CLIENTS FOR ITS COMPETENCY, PERSONALIZED CARING AND ATTENTION, AND COLLABORATIVE ABILITIES. AS ONE SUPERINTENDENT AT A RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICT RECENTLY SAID, "THE STAFF MEMBERS AT BRIGHTWAYS LEARNING HELP SOLVE PROBLEMS. WHEN WE HAVE AN IDEA THAT WE WANT TO DEVELOP, OR WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE IN OUR SYSTEM THAT BETTER SUITS OUR NEEDS, THEY SPEND THE TIME WITH US TO MAKE SURE THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN." A PRIMARY BRIGHTWAYS MISSION IS TO ASSIST STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS BY INCREASING THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF THEIR CONNECTIONS WITH THEIR FAMILIES, SCHOOL PERSONNEL, AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. STRONG ADULT RELATIONSHIPS ARE PROVEN TOOLS TO DECREASE A STUDENT'S LIFE-LONG RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD POVERTY AND TRAUMA. THESE TOOLS ARE PARTICULARLY CRITICAL FOR STUDENTS FACING OUR GREATEST CURRENT CHALLENGE, COVID-19. THROUGH OUR UNIQUE, PROVEN WEB OF SUPPORT FRAMEWORK AND SUPPORTING SERVICES, WE HELP IMPROVE IMMEDIATE AND LIFELONG RESILIENCE, WELLBEING, AND ACADEMIC POTENTIAL THROUGH BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND GROWING PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS. BRIGHTWAYS LEARNING CONTINUES TO SUPPORT FAMILIES WHO ARE SCHOOLING THEIR CHILDREN VIA DISTANCE LEARNING AND HOMESCHOOLING THROUGH THE COGNIA-ACCREDITED BRIGHTWAYS GLOBAL ACADEMY. ENROLLMENT IN THIS ACADEMY INCREASED IN THE 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR, WITH MOST STUDENTS LIVING OVERSEAS AND BEING SCHOOLED AT HOME BY THEIR PARENTS, WHO ARE STATIONED ABROAD THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
