Curriculum & Instruction

Brighten Academy works hard to surpass the academic guidelines established by the Georgia Department of Education by providing a challenging and engaging curriculum for our students.

Brighten Academy Curriculum

Brighten Academy follows Georgia State and Douglas County District guidelines. The school district has adopted content standards and assessments. These assessments allow teachers, students and parents to see where individuals are in reaching and/or exceeding District Standards. The measures will determine whether the student has successfully learned grade level standards. The results of these measures will enable teachers to teach to your child's individual needs and strengths. Copies of the State content Standards can be accessed at the links provided below.

Academic Standards and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education work together to provide rigorous standards, quality instructional resources and online professional learning materials that will help teachers prepare students for graduation and post-secondary college and career opportunities. Georgia Performance Standards, resources and training information can be accessed at http://www.georgiastandards.org/.

Division of Innovative Instruction
Innovative Instruction provides challenging educational programs designed to meet the unique needs of students in a wide variety of settings that result in increased student achievement.

The state of Georgia has instituted standardized tests to ensure compliance with these guidelines and assess whether schools are meeting these goals. To learn more and view Brighten Academy School's recent test scores, visit the accountability page.
