Foundations Academy

🍬🎃 IT’S TIME TO GET SWEET, FOUNDATIONS! 🎃🍬

Our Foundations Academy Candy Drive kicks off October 1st! Each class will compete to collect the most individually wrapped candy, with winners in K–2, 3–5, and 6–8 earning a special class prize! 🏆

Have candy to donate? Send it in with your student, or use the Candy Cash QR code on the flyer to make a donation!

Want to help make the magic happen? We’re also looking for trunk/volunteer sign-ups!

Let’s see which class can bring the BIGGEST candy haul! 🍭🍫🍬

Candy Drive: October 1–20
Clearly labeled candy donations can be brought to the office.

“Wait… Foundations is a charter school. What does that actually mean?”

It’s one of the questions we hear from families all the time!

Foundations Academy is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades K–8 in Brighton. Charter schools are public schools that families can choose for their children. They are held accountable to public-school standards while having additional flexibility in how they operate and serve their students.

At Foundations, that means combining strong academics with our Moral Focus program to help students grow both academically and in character.

No private-school tuition. No need to live in a specific neighborhood attendance boundary to simply express interest and apply. Just another public-school option families can consider when deciding what environment is right for their child. Enrollment is subject to availability, and a lottery is used when applications during Open Enrollment exceed available seats.

Curious if Foundations might be the right fit for your family? Schedule a tour and come see what makes our school different.
