  • Bright Beginnings Academy was founded in 2013 by Mrs. Gina Englund, who now serves as the school director. The school began with a small group of students and teachers and quickly outgrew its first location and now exists at 3590 Pleasant Valley Road. Our program has grown in so many wonderful ways so we decided to change our name. We had our first beginnings as a dream, but now we see the life-changing results in our students. We are now Bright Academy specializing in Bright Dyslexics!

  • The vision of Bright Academy is to provide a place students look forward to coming to each day and learning in a Christian environment. Each child is unique in their abilities and challenged accordingly. Our goal is for the students to be successful and competent learners. At Bright Academy, the accent is on the positive, and it all takes place in a positive, Christian atmosphere.

  • It is the mission of Bright Academy to enable dyslexic students to overcome individual learning differences in a Christian environment in order to achieve their full potential.

Hours: 8 AM – 3 PM, Monday – Friday

Location: 3590 Pleasant Valley Rd Mobile, AL 36609

Testimonials

“Bright Beginnings Academy has been a great experience for our son. The small classroom size is a huge plus. The skill appropriate dyslexia therapy classes make a huge difference. Your child attends the class level he or she needs to help build confidence and develop skills that will help them read for a lifetime. The teachers know each of their students well and are able to help the group learn, and focus on the individuals where they need extra guidance. It is a journey. Early detection and intervention are really important, and I worry not all kids have the opportunity to be diagnosed and helped the way they can be at a school like Bright Beginnings.”
— Tara Freeburg
“Our son has attended BBA for two years and his abilities and self-esteem improved significantly after only a couple of months. The small classroom setting is exactly what our son needs to learn at his pace. Our son has dyslexia as well as other hindrances to learning and the teachers and staff work endlessly to help him achieve his full potential. We are forever indebted to BBA for their hard work and sacrifice in helping our son learn.”
— Bret Seiter
“BBA has been a blessing to me by teaching me as an educator, ways to help children learn in various ways according to how their individual brains learn and retain. It never gets boring or dull because the ways are endless and seeing these students feel worthy and achieved is such a great light.
Much love,”
— Haley Holley

She has gone from a child who cried every day NOT to go to school to a child who can not WAIT to get there every day (even on holidays and weekends). I can not thank the two extraordinary teachers enough. Love the teachers, love the school.”
