YMCA at Brighter Choices

The mission of the Brighter Choice Charter School for Girls and the Brighter Choice Charter School for Boys is three-fold: to help Albany students realize their right to a top-quality education to create a meaningful alternative to existing district schools and to ensure competency in reading and mathematics while providing a broad and rigorous liberal-arts education.

The schools will achieve this mission by: hiring teachers with subject-area expertise and requiring them to ensure the attainment of specific grade-by-grade learning standards; minimizing distractions to learning through strict discipline providing a single-sex learning environment instituting a dress code that requires school uniforms; and ensuring accountability to parents and the broader community through comprehensive performance testing. This facility is authorized to administer over-the-counter topical ointments only
