School Notes

Mission Statement: Brighton Adventist Academy intentionally connects students with classroom learning, character development, and essential life skills in a Christian environment that delivers academic excellence valuing each individual as a creation of God gifted with unique talents for service to others.

Core Values: At Brighton Adventist Academy, we intentionally live out the CHERISH Core Values, joining schools across the Rocky Mountain Conference in cultivating Christ-centered character through daily actions and relationships. These values shape not only what we teach, but how we treat one another, how we learn, and how we grow together as a school community.
CHERISH stands for:
  • Christ-Centered We place Jesus at the heart of all we do, allowing His love and truth to guide our decisions, relationships, and learning.
  • Honor We show respect to God, ourselves, and others through our words, attitudes, and actions.
  • Exploration We approach learning with curiosity and wonder, developing a love for discovery in both academics and faith.
  • Responsibility We take ownership of our actions, our learning, and our role within the school community.
  • Integrity We choose to do what is right, even when it is difficult or when no one is watching.
  • Service We use our gifts to serve others with humility, compassion, and a Christ-like spirit.
  • Heroism We strive to stand for what is right, show courage in our character, and make a positive difference in the world around us. These are more than values we recite, they are values we practice daily, as we seek to truly cherish one another as children of God.
Our Approach: We believe education should be relational, intentional, and rooted in purpose. Our multi-grade classrooms allow students to grow as leaders, collaborators, and independent learners.
