Brightworks
The San Francisco-based K-12 school is run on the principle that everything is interesting. By taking the best practices from project-based and experiential learning, Brightworks strives to meet student's needs in a flexible, mixed-age environment that breaks the conventional walls between school and the community outside the classroom. They offer a broad-spectrum learning environment, designed to encourage creative capacity, tenacity, and citizenship.
The school trusts that children are instinctual learners, and honors their leadership and partnership in their educational path. The school sets topics for exploration and encourages children to take on projects they are passionate about, while also fostering the development of a multitude of skills. Students are full partners in their own education, and every child is known and understood by their collaborators and the staff. Collaborators strive to build bonds with the students, challenge them, support them, and create with them so each can find their most beautiful version of themselves.
