Elementary Campus K-6

The Brighton School Elementary Campus is a specialized elementary school for K- 6th grade children with dyslexia and other related learning differences. We feature a low student-teacher ratios and small classroom sizes. Class placement is determined by progress and proficiency and also by the psycho-educational evaluation for the individual student.

Our teachers are certified and trained in the essential component of effective educational programs of students with dyslexia and other related learning differences. They provide direct instruction in self-contained classrooms. Intensive individualized programs utilize multisensory techniques and research based instructional methods. We also provide accommodations and modifications as needed or as designated by the psycho-educational evaluation. All of our teachers are closely supervised by the Director of Curriculum & Instruction and the Dyslexia Coordinator.

Daily Schedule: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Medications: Written documentation from a physician is required. Medication is locked and distributed from the front office.

Bridges to Success Summer Program

Bridges to Success is a four week summer enrichment program for children in grades K – 6th. The program covers phonics and math with heavy emphasis on multisensory activities. A psych-educational evaluation is also needed for admission into the summer program. Spaces are limited and are awarded on a first come first serve basis. Please note that this program is not for children who failed a grade and must take a summer school course.

Before and After Care Programs

We offer before and after school programs for enrolled students on a semester basis. These programs are provided to accommodate our working parents. You can participate in only one program or both programs.

Before Care begins at 7:15 a.m. until 7:45 a.m.
After Care begins at 3:05 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Home and School Organization

Home & School is a parent organization that establishes communication and fellowship among the parents, faculty, students and staff. Without the time and talents of our many parent volunteers, sponsored events throughout the year would not be successful.

Please check the News & Events page and calendar for meeting dates and sponsored events.
