Welcome
This is the homepage for our Physical Education Website at Brighten Academy Charter school. Our goal at Brighten Academy is to teach our students the necessary skills to live active healthy lifestyles. We teach our students a variety of motor skills and sport skills along with a component of health and fitness that will allow our students to be successful at maintaining a level of physical fitness. Most importantly we teach many life skills in Physical Education that will provide for our students the opportunity to excel in real world situations. These life skills include sportsmanship, teamwork, work ethic, responsibility, and accountability. Ultimately our students learn what it means to demonstrate the upmost Character.
"Ability may take you to the top, but it takes Character to keep you there." -John Wooden
