BGA is a homeschool-centered private academy offering a complete, culturally grounded, standards-aligned curriculum for children ages 3–14 — launching August 1, 2026.
BGA is not a supplement. It is not a co-op. It is a complete academic program — with scope and sequence, live instruction, curated book lists anchored in Black and brown voices, and parent support built in. We built it for families who know their child is brilliant and are done waiting for a system to agree.
We are offering 5 families the opportunity to complete the full 2026–2027 school year at a steeply discounted rate as BGA pursues Cognia and Middle States accreditation. The curriculum is complete. Instruction is ready. What we need is your honest, regular feedback to build the documented evidence accreditation requires.
We are looking for one child in each age band. This is not a beta test — it is a founding seat.
Pilot families receive everything a full-enrollment family receives — at a fraction of the cost.

A play-rich, read-aloud-centered day built around identity and the power of words. Seedlings learn through story, movement, art, and joyful conversation.
Over 8 weeks, each Seedling creates a simple handmade book — one page per week — with drawings, dictated sentences, and their own words about who they are, what they love, and where they belong. Families share these at the end-of-unit celebration.
A literacy-rich day that moves from whole-group read-aloud into individual writing, vocabulary, and hands-on word work. Sprouts grow through story, sentence-building, and self-expression.
Over 8 weeks, Sprouts build their own "Word Jar" — collecting meaningful words from books, conversations, and life. At the unit's end, they publish a small illustrated booklet featuring their 8 most treasured words, each with a sentence and drawing. Families are invited to the reading celebration.
A deeper, discussion-driven day that moves from anchor text analysis into essay writing, math problem-solving, and science inquiry. Buds think critically, write independently, and connect stories to the wider world.
Buds write a multi-paragraph essay exploring a moment when someone's words or actions — kind or unkind — changed the course of a community. They pair it with a hand-drawn "ripple map" showing how that moment spread. Projects are shared at the unit showcase.
An independent, text-rich day anchored in a middle-grade novel and paired with primary sources, argument writing, pre-algebra, and a deep dive into identity and justice. Blossoms do the intellectual work — and they're ready for it.
Blossoms write a personal identity manifesto — a formal, structured piece that names who they are, what they stand for, and how they intend to use their voice. Paired with a visual art element of their choosing (collage, illustration, or digital design), manifestos are presented to the community at the unit showcase. This project is portfolio-worthy.
