Our Perspective

How we see Brighton School

The Brighton program begins from the understanding that not all students are able to adapt themselves to the curriculum; rather, in order to reach their potentials, they require an academic environment that adapts itself to them. That can take many forms, and Brighton offers the full range, from small, student-centred groups, to a balanced daily schedule, to a staff with the tools and supports—and the time—to really work individually with each of the students. There are lots of challenges out there, and Brighton has a history of helping their students meet all of them, no matter what form they might take. The service programs, spirit days, and extracurricular programs all extend and enhance the strength of the core program.

Welcome to Brighton

We have what you’ve been looking for. A warm, vibrant school community that understands elementary and secondary students with learning challenges.  Learning Groups with only 3 – 6 students in each group.  Caring, qualified, trained and experienced Special Ed teachers who individualize learning to meet each students’ 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.

Our ‘Balanced Day’ schedule with two well-spaced 45 minute breaks (instead of short 15 minute recesses) helps keep our students at a consistent energy and attention level throughout the day.  After school clubs 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.  Dances. A large, bright gymnasium.  A stage.  A great playground.  A parking lot.  A before and after school care program.  Great students and parents.  Come and visit us to experience Brighton for yourself!
