Our Mission The mission of the Brighter Choice Foundation is to provide grants and academic supports to charter schools in the city of Albany with the goal of creating the best educational opportunities for students while strengthening and improving the charter community. Our Vision Our organization will help Albany charter schools grow and improve to become a model charter community with best practices to be replicated and utilized all over New York and beyond. Our History The New York State Charter Schools Act was passed in 1998 and from its establishment our founders had their eyes on creating school choice in the City of Albany. Our initial goal was to design alternatives to the poor options we saw for the residents of our city many of whom could be classified as economically disadvantaged.
