Charter School Funds —

Bright Minds Learning Academy welcomes families enrolled with homeschool charter schools. We are currently in the process of applying to become an approved vendor with several local charter schools, which may allow families to use their charter educational funds toward tuition for our program. If your family is enrolled with a charter school and would like to use charter funds, please contact us directly so we can prioritize the vendor application process with your school. Many charter schools allow families to allocate funds toward academic enrichment programs like Bright Minds Learning Academy once vendor approval is completed.
