Curriculum Models

BrightSteam’s curriculum is built on a comprehensive, research-backed framework that ensures children develop foundational skills, creativity, and critical thinking through structured instruction, hands-on learning, and live teacher interaction. Our four core models—CoreSpan, CoreForm, CorePath, and CoreFrame—work together to deliver a complete, school-ready experience.
