Our Mission
Brilla Public Charter Schools, K-8 Schools in the classical tradition,
help students to grow intellectually, socially, and physically into
young men and women of good character and spirit, and to be
prepared for excellence in high school, college and beyond.
Our Vision
Brilla means “shine” in Spanish and speaks to the beacon of
hope and opportunity we are working to build in the
communities we serve. Brilla Public Charter Schools seek
to educate students to lead lives of excellence, virtue and
purpose. We do this by leveraging the best instructional
practices of model charter schools – a longer school day
and year, utilizing technology-based blended learning to
deliver individualized instruction, intensively supporting
and coaching teachers—and combining this with a
robust character education program, centered
around our core virtues of courage, justice,
wisdom and self-control.
How We Will Do It
We will develop the whole child by
implementing a classroom-based
blended learning model that delivers
both differentiated instruction and a
well-rounded liberal arts
education. Through data-driven
instruction and strategic
partnerships, we will prepare our students to excel in high
school, college, and beyond. Students will conclude Brilla
Public Charter School’s 8th grade equipped with the
confidence, intellectual curiosity, analytical abilities, and
habits that lead them to pose meaningful questions of
themselves and of others, and also equipped with the
virtues and conviction to be leaders in creating a just
society.
Our greatest asset, our teachers, will achieve our mission
with the resources and support to customize and
coordinate adaptive computer-based and teacher-led
instruction. Through a unique co-teaching model, we will
continue honing our craft and relentlessly focus on
enhancing effective educational strategies.
We will foster a robust school culture, in which character
development is uniquely integrated across all content
areas. Students will develop and practice courage, justice,
wisdom, and self-control. As our name suggests, Brilla
scholars will shine as beacons of hope both within and
beyond our school walls.
