Focus on Reading, Writing and Math Challenges

Our special education programs focus on addressing and closing academic learning gaps by building strong foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Through personalized instruction, small Learning Group sizes, specialized programs, and a supportive environment, we help students strengthen their core abilities, ensuring they develop the confidence and skills necessary for academic success. We emphasize mastery of key concepts, building a solid understanding of literacy and numeracy that will serve as a strong foundation for their future learning.

Small Learning Groups Benefit Students with Learning Disabilities

Our students are taught in small Learning Groups with an average of only 4 - 6 students per group. Learning Groups are used in all core subjects: Reading, Writing and Math. Careful and continuous progress monitoring ensures that students are keeping up with their group. Our groups are flexible, and allow us to move students up to the next group if and as their progress warrants throughout the year. Teaching students at their 'just-right level" ensures that engagement is high, frustration is low and motivation is maintained.

A 'Jewel Box' of a School

Brighton School is in it's 21st year, although we moved into our fabulous renovated new location in 2021. Our beautiful new learning space was custom-designed from wall to wall for our students. It features bright, airy and beautiful classrooms with large windows; a central Learning Commons and Fitness Centre; a Food and Science Lab; an art and music room, and a fabulous playground with different activity zones. As you walk through our space, you'll be struck by the many colourful and creative touches designed to delight and energize learning!

Brighton’s specialized reading programs have been nothing short of life-changing for my son, when traditional methods just weren’t working for him. He not only improved his reading skills but it also restored his confidence and love for learning. What truly sets Brighton apart is their stellar staff. Every teacher is highly qualified and also deeply compassionate and committed to understanding my son’s needs. They really go above and beyond to create a supportive learning environment. If you’re looking for a school that will truly meet your child where they are and help them reach their full potential, I wholeheartedly recommend Brighton School. It’s been the best decision we’ve ever made for our son’s education and future.

From the very beginning, we have been impressed with the school’s commitment to providing a supportive and nurturing environment for students. The teachers and staff have been incredibly attentive, always encouraging my child to grow both academically and personally. I am especially impressed by the teachers' ability to tailor teaching methods to meet the individual needs of each student. Their approach makes a significant difference in how she learns and understands the material. Thank you for your constant support and for making learning so engaging and effective.

After frustrating experiences at two different schools, we were becoming increasingly concerned that our daughter would never find a place that understood and accepted her for who she was and where she was at intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Then we found Brighton School. Eleven years later she is graduating with skills and confidence we never imagined possible all those years ago. Brighton School meets students where they are and individualizes the program to help each one meet their unique potential. The small class sizes, effective tools and technique, and wonderful staff that truly care about each child has made all the difference.

D.M. – High School parent

My son has been attending Brighton School for two years and over this time he has tremendously improved academically. The teachers are very caring, and all have experience working with children who require extra support and patience. The small class sizes allow for more one on one time providing the teacher a true understanding of my son’s strengths and weaknesses. We are very fortunate we found Brighton School.

A.D. – Primary Division parent

I am so happy we made the decision to move our daughter to Brighton. The smaller classroom sizes and amazing staff has helped her tremendously, not only academically but socially and emotionally. The staff is patient and nurturing. I am glad we were able to find a school that understands that every child is unique and valuable.

C.M. – Primary Division parent

My son has attended Brighton School’s high school program for 3 years, and he looks forward to going to school every day. The extraordinary teachers and staff always make the learning environment engaging, and they authentically have individualized academic and personal development goals for every student. My son loves his peers and teachers, and the classroom culture is grounded in friendship, respect and interest in each other.

N.I. – High School parent

The Brighton School experience has been life-altering. Our daughter is happy and wants to go to school. She is flourishing because she is accepted, valued, and understood. She loves ‘Prize-Day Fridays’, special school events, and after-school activities where she can develop her interests, socialize with friends and have fun! The staff provide exceptional emotional, social and foundational academic support. They take time to communicate and work with families in order to cultivate the potential of each student: a Can vs. Can’t learning environment. We love the opportunities to connect with other families and to be part of this welcoming community: Thank-you for your immeasurable support, Brighton Staff!

N.S. & J.O. – Intermediate Division parents

Our daughter is in her third year at Brighton School and we often reflect in gratitude that we decided to enroll her there. Brighton's small class sizes, highly individualized curriculum and commitment to her progress have propelled her development by leaps and bounds. The approach to learning, in itself, is fantastic for children with different abilities and needs, but what really hits you is the love you feel every time you walk the halls. She looks forward to going to school every day, and it's clear she receives not only the help that she needs with academics, but also a lot of care and nurturing as well.

R.S. – Primary Division parent

Our daughter has been at Brighton for 6 years now and it has been the foundation of her development, both academically and emotionally. At Brighton she is seen as an individual for her potential and her gifts, rather than as an outsider in the public system. We cannot say enough about the care and attention all her teachers and the school's administration has shown. The programming is tailored to her, as they really know her. And importantly, she has a great circle of friends who greet her every morning and learn together throughout the day. Moving our daughter to Brighton was the best decision we've made.

D.C & S.C. – High School parents

Brighton has been such a great positive learning experience for our son . He loves going to school and engaging in a multitude of hands-on activities. His teachers are incredibly patient and constantly offer support. He has also forged great friendships with other students. Brighton encourages students to share their ideas openly, which has boosted our son’s self-confidence.
