Brightworks

Founded in 2011, Brightworks is an independent, project-based and engagement-driven private school that reimagines education.  

Located in the Presidio of San Francisco, a national park site in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and just steps from the Golden Gate Bridge, Brightworks – a vanguard of educational innovation – envisions a cadre of dynamically talented, purposefully empowered, socially conscious, and antiracist young people who’ve been encouraged to be curious, creative and motivated throughout their Brightworks years, and beyond. 

Through its transformative project-based model, Brightworks students have taken risks, failed, and iterated on their ideas, leaving them equipped with tools for success.
