For years, homeschooling families have opted out of the conventional public school system for a variety of reasons.
But the growing trend to homeschool means that school districts will continue to lose necessary funding for maintaining facilities and staff, while many families don't follow any structured guidance for teaching state or national achievement standards. In fact, homeschooling parents often tell us they worry most about not teaching everything they should be, leaving gaps in their children's education and in their readiness to succeed in real-world expectations, like college entrance exams.
Depending on a state's laws, school districts can partner with us and use our BrightWays Learning Systems to offer a home-based distance program or to establish a "stand-alone" charter school to enroll the homeschooling families into the district.
Benefits include:
- Increased student enrollment provides a boost in school district funding.
- Certified Teachers can participate in the alternative education program, helping to keep good teachers employed within the district.
- Standardized test scores often improve for homeschooled students, raising the school district's average testing scores overall.
- Invigorating, innovative training for teachers in proven methods that increase student achievement and make standards-guided education meaningful.
- Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for all homeschooled students, which create learning environments most beneficial to each student's needs.
- For distance education programs, little or no additional funding is needed for facility maintenance or consumable supplies. For charter schools, only a small staff is needed to run administrative services.
- Students meet all state requirements for following education standards, showing progress through assessment, meeting attendance goals, etc.

Students who live in tough family situations, or who have trouble coping with conventional classroom settings, often fall in and out of the school in which they originally enrolled. Following an at-risk student's situation and academic progress is usually difficult and time-consuming.
BrightWays not only makes following these individuals easy, but it also includes components, like asset tracking, to help each student succeed overall.
Benefits include:
- Streamline student tracking
- Easily share vital student information with others, like counselors, teachers, etc., who are involved
- Reduce student dropout rates by meeting their unique needs
- Invigorating, innovative training for teachers in proven methods that increase student achievement and make standards-guided education meaningful
- Prescriptive Individual Learning Plans for each student, which creates a learning environment most beneficial to his or her particular needs
- Developmental Asset Building & Tracking
- Maximize learning opportunities while students are in the "transition" period to minimize learning gaps and increasing the likelihood the student will return to complete their education rather than leave school completely

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has forced schools to re-evaluate and, in most cases, shed outdated conventions
and adopt more innovative methods—administratively and educationally.
Our system is designed to help your school be truly successful in not only meeting NCLB requirements and measurement, but also in improving meaningful student achievement, personally and academically.
Our School Success Plan, a component of our BrightWays Learning Systems, focuses on student achievement, positive teaching methods, developing student resiliency, and multi-level accountability for student learning.
