Secondary Program We are excited to announce that in addition to our established Elementary program, Brighton School is now offering a co-ed Secondary program for students with learning differences in grades 9 - 12. Our Secondary program has been designed to be flexible and to meet the needs of students who have different academic goals, or who require extra support, motivation or attention.

New Approach to Reading Comprehension We have been seeing some remarkable gains in reading and oral comprehension since introducing the Lindamood Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing program last September. Click here to read more.
Physical Activity Boosts Learning! We believe that lots of physical activity throughout the day helps kids learn better. Our Balanced Day schedule has three 90 minute learning blocks and two 45 minute breaks in between. Click here to read more.
Direct Instruction Brighton features the Direct Instruction (DI) methodology as a cornerstone of our reading curriculum. Direct Instruction is a structured, carefully sequenced approach that teaches to content mastery. Frequent assessments monitor progress and ensure that students do not move on until they have mastered each lesson. Click here to read more.

Welcome to Brighton
We have what you've been looking for. A warm, vibrant school community that understands kids with learning challenges. Learning Groups that have only 3 - 6 students in each group. Caring, qualified, trained and experienced Special Ed teachers who individualize learning to meet each student’s needs. An evidence based, best-practices curriculum that gets results. A focus on remediation, but also on 'strengthening strengths' so our students understand that while they have challenges, they also have gifts and abilities that make them shine. A 'Balanced Day' schedule with two well-spaced 45 minutes breaks (instead of short 15 minute recesses) that helps keep our students at a consistent energy and attention level throughout the day. Co-curricular clubs each day that allow students to experience a wide variety of different sports and arts activities, and are designed to build skills, friendships, teamwork and self-confidence. A social skills program. In-house tutoring, Speech and OT services. After school clubs. Dances. A large, bright gymnasium. A stage. A great playground. A parking lot. An After Care program. Great students and parents. Come and visit us to experience Brighton for yourself!

Who is Brighton For?
Brighton is for students in both elementary and high school who learn best in small groups; have an uneven academic profile; have an LD (Learning Disability) diagnosis; or have difficulty with attention, anxiety, motivation, memory, language, reasoning, spatial or sequential ordering or graphomotor functions.

Start Where the Kids Are!
Sounds simple, but most schools expect students to modify themselves for the curriculum. Children with academic challenges need help in closing the gap between where they are and where they need to be. At Brighton, both content and instructional approaches are tailored to address personal learning gaps.
