Welcome to Our Website
The Browsville Academic Center is an alternative education school serving middle school and high school students in the Brownsville Independent School District. Our primary goal is to serve our students' academic needs in an environment which stresses the importance of self-discipline and respect. At BAC, we are dedicated to providing a positive learning environment which incorporates the BAC Respect Model as a daily guide to help reinforce the values of respect and self-discipline.
Students who are referred to BAC will participate in our Performance Training Program (PTP) for either a 30-day placement or a 45-day placement.

EXPLANATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
TESTIMONIALS
The way BAC changed my life was wonderful because it taught me to see life a different way and not just my point of view. It showed me how to balance a situation so that when we come to a conclusion, everybody involved comes out happy and not just one person.
BAC also taught me to help other people when they're in need because to help other people helps you become a better person in life.
- Michael, former cadet
Being here at BAC has really helped me in changing my mind about a lot of things and also in making much better decisions.
- Porfirio, former cadet
If it wasn't for BAC I wouldn't be where I am today, with outstanding grades and discipline. BAC made me realize it's not hard to be successful in school. This program changed my perspective over everything. I would probably be at my home campus not focused on school like I was encouraged to do here. Getting sent here was possibly the best thing that has happened in my life because of the amazing DIs as well as the teachers who have guided me to the right path which I could never seem to find before.
- Jonah C., former cadet
Being here has made me realize how much I did things without thinking about it. By doing that, nothing good came out of it. Thinking about what I'm about to do or say before I do or say it has become so natural to me now.
- Adriana, former cadet
BAC has changed my views on what I want to and what I don't want to do in life. If I wouldn't have been sent here, I think I would still be doing the things I used to do....I came to find that getting sent here was just a second chance, an eye opener. Many things could have happened, a bit older and who knows what would have happened.
Getting sent here got me alot closer to my mom. That drastically changed my life, now I feel I can tell her anything. It has changed my life in a good way. I know I won't return; I have learned my lesson. I won't break the rules anymore and I will try to succeed in my life.
- Jonathan, former cadet
