Our Small Beginnings
Brightwoods School
Brightwoods School is the brainchild of the visionary and innovative educator, Teacher Ana, who dreamed of creating a place of learning where children could thrive beautifully.
In 1993, Teacher Ana started a one-classroom affair at the Villa Angelina site in Angeles City and named her school, The ABC Factory. With eight vibrant preschoolers as her first students, Teacher Ana’s dream to make learning fun and lasting started to take shape.
In 1995, with the opening of Grade 1, the school changed its name to Brightwoods School and was duly registered with the then Department of Education, Culture and Sports, and the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit organization.
The school has since set February 14, 1995 — the day it received its government permit to operate — as its official Foundation Day.
The succeeding years, henceforth, saw the school’s relocation to its present site at Angeles Citicenter, Pandan, Angeles City, and the opening of the other Elementary grade levels.
Brightwoods School is recognized by the Department of Education. It now offers complete Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade School, and High School courses.
