Welcome to Our Website
The Brownsville Academic Center is an alternative education school serving students 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.
Our school consists of two programs: the Term Academic Program (TAP) which is an alternative education program, and the Performance Training Program (PTP) which is a boot camp program.
Term Academic Program
(TAP)
The Term Academic Program services students who have been removed from their home campus for a period of 30 days due to a violation of the B.I.S.D. Student Code of Conduct.

The PTP program services students who have been removed from their home campus as a result of a mandatory removal or discretionary expulsion. The PTP program is a rigorous program which emphasizes academics as well as discipline and fitness.
In both programs, students must meet the exit criteria before they are eligible to return to their home campus.
