What services do you provide?
BrightStone provides a full curriculum in two major areas of learning: Job Training and Life-Long Learning. Students have the opportunity to learn in a work-based learning program while in a God-centered, safe environment. All physical and personal needs are met by a trained and caring staff. Transportation is provided (fee-based) for adults living in certain attainable areas of Davidson and Williamson Counties. After a time of work adjustment, the student is given a vocational assessment and job interest survey, and then provided on-the-job training in at least three different work areas.
