Elementary (Grades K-5)
Our highly trained, committed educators understand the needs of students who learn differently and are well prepared to nurture your child’s academic, social, and emotional development. At Brighton, many of our students have the need to move, and accommodating that need is vital to their academic success. Our elementary classrooms have a variety of unconventional seating alternatives so students can discover what works best for them.
Our day begins with Morning Meeting, a time for students to practice the many social skills they will need throughout the day. Afterward, students engage in lessons that integrate visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile experiences in all areas of the academic curriculum. Building the place value system with Base 10 blocks, sky-writing key vocabulary words, or forming cursive letters on memory boards are a few examples of how we incorporate the senses as a primary teaching tool for students who learn differently.
Ancillary classes such as art, music and library are incorporated weekly to further enhance your child’s educational experience.
We are a school that is dedicated to students who have dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. We believe that ALL students can learn. It’s a matter of how the instruction is given and the support that is available to push students to their potential.
