A Principal's Welcome

Dear Families & Supporters,

Welcome to the 2011-12 school year at the Brighter Choice Charter School for Boys. This past school year, our scholars and teachers have proven, once again, why our school is absolutely necessary for the young men of Albany. Our third graders were the top-performing class in the city of Albany, posting some of the highest pass rates among public schools for ELA and Math in the state. In 4th grade, our results in ELA and Math placed us among the highest performing schools in the city. We understand that our scholars must continue to demonstrate that they can and will compete with the best and brightest scholars in the state of New York. In the near future, our boys will be competing for limited college seats; hence, we must continue to prepare our scholars for the demands of middle school, high school and college.

While we continue to be one of the top performing public schools in this state, we are always improving our practices and methods. We aim to provide an exceptional educational experience for our scholars and families. This year, we will continue our focus of creating high-quality classrooms and further developing our literacy instruction in all grades. We are also taking steps to enhance our communication with families, thus we hope you will thoroughly enjoy our new website design.

As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We pride ourselves on providing your scholars with the high-quality education they deserve. Please browse our new website and offer any feedback as we continue to develop our means of providing you with information concerning our program. I look forward to our work together this school year.

Always remember, the road to college starts here.
