What exactly is Bright Key®?

Bright Key® is a program that turns a school into a community school. As a community school, we will bring programs and services into the school based on the needs of the children. Bright Key® programs are completely stakeholder driven. That means that parents, teachers and community members make the decisions on what programs and services you want and need for your school. We hold periodic meetings at each school where stakeholders can become involved and voice their opinions and concerns.

Does Bright Key® cost me anything?

Some programs are free and some programs may have fees. For example, tutoring in the Academic Dream Room is free thanks to corporate sponsors and volunteers, but should an art program be established, fees may apply.

What programs are available through Bright Key®?

Bright Key® programs depend entirely on the needs of the students of each school and will be determined by the stakeholders for that school.
