Our Story
BrightPath Learning started in 2024 when a group of veteran teachers noticed a troubling pattern: the best educational resources were locked behind expensive paywalls, while free alternatives were often low-quality or poorly organized.
We set out to change that. Starting with a handful of math worksheets and a simple website, BrightPath has grown into a comprehensive K-12 resource library covering every core subject. Today, our materials are used by thousands of teachers, homeschool families, and students across the country and around the world.
Every resource on BrightPath is created or reviewed by certified educators with classroom experience. We align everything to Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and state-specific frameworks to ensure our materials are genuinely useful in real classrooms.
