Briya PCS’ mission is to strengthen families through culturally responsive, two-generation education. Families enroll in the school together: Parents study English as a second language, digital literacy, and parenting while their children receive a high-quality education in dual-language, project-based PK classes. Briya also offers a high school diploma for students in its highest-level English class and training for Medical Assistant and Child Development Associate credentials.
