The BrightPath Academy: Courses

BrightPath Academy: The LMS Division of BuildingBlocs Literacy

BrightPath Academy is the learning management system (LMS) division of BuildingBlocs Literacy, LLC.
It exists to provide a seamless way to deliver our social-emotional learning–focused curriculum, books, and video-based courses to individuals, families, and institutions.

The platform operates in two layers:

Public-Facing Platform – An open library of courses designed for individuals, families, and communities. From financial literacy and leadership to family reset and trust-building, BrightPath Academy makes transformative learning accessible to anyone.
Institutional Access – A private, structured training hub for licensed partners and organizations. This includes full facilitator and director training for the Built From the Inside™ system, the Pathlight Mentoring Series, and the Used to Survive Recovery Addiction Series.

BrightPath Academy also integrates directly with our children’s programming at BrightStartU.com, creating a unified SEL ecosystem for all ages — from early childhood through adult learning.

As a training backbone, the platform supports:

Facilitators & Educators – with curriculum, certifications, and teaching tools.
Mentors & Directors – with advanced leadership and program management resources.
Licensees – with a scalable, plug-in delivery system that maintains fidelity to the BuildingBlocs Literacy method.

BrightPath Academy is wholly owned and controlled by BuildingBlocs Literacy, ensuring that every course, certification, and resource maintains the same quality, consistency, and mission alignment across our programs.
