Donate to Bright Star Schools

Our mission is to provide holistic, inclusive support for all students to achieve academic excellence and grow their unique talents so that they find joy and fulfillment in higher education, career, and life.

Your support helps ensure our students and alumni continue to receive the highest-quality education and supports beyond the classroom.

Academically, our students outperform surrounding schools and the state—despite growing up in under-resourced, but family- and community-rich, areas of Los Angeles. We are proud to offer the following to our students:

• A low student-to-counselor ratio for all Bright Star students
• Our hallmark "Life Experience Lessons" where students access horizon-broadening field trips, see endless possibilities for their lives, and know that all opportunities are available to them
• Robust alumni services, including six years of individualized, higher education support
