Athletics
The education our Brighton students receive is second to none, and includes extracurricular activities that are a vital part of teaching the whole child. Varsity and junior varsity teams compete in the ACEL (Association of Christian Educators of Louisiana). This league offers Boys & Girls Cross Country, Girls Volleyball, and Boys & Girls Basketball.
Athletics play a vital role in the holistic development of students. These extracurricular offerings contribute positively to students’ social skills, health, academic performance, personal growth, character growth, and future opportunities. Student athletes develop skills crucial for success both in school and beyond. Regardless of whom we teach and what limitations or gifts they bring, we always aim to help each student reach his or her fullest potential. The greatest thing in life is not in never having fallen, but in rising up again.
The Brighton School has steadily continued to make updates to the gymnasium over the last several years. A renovation in 2021 included a resurfaced roof, added skylights, automatic bleachers, new automatic winch systems for our basketball goals, new sideline chairs, two new volleyball court systems, new LED lights, and a curtain divider. Further upgrades included new flooring in the entryway and bathrooms, remodeling of locker rooms, and the addition of the Bengal Weight Room. In 2024, the new Bengal Den was complete which features a brand-new concession stand.
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.
