Brighton Academy

Posted July 8, 2009

After our first year at Brighton I am somewhat apprehensive. I am giving it another full year to see if there is improvement. The school is run well and the small class sizes are perfect for our kids with dyslexia, ADD, dysgraphia etc. but I didn't find that it is quite challenging enough for those who are capable of more challenges. I feel there should be level adjustments where needed, more advanced for those who can, average and then remedial for those that need it. In small class settings and with experienced teachers, that should not be a problem. I am hoping that we have a better year so that we can continue on through high school.

My son attends Brighton Academy. Brighton is a school where children with dyslexia are taught the learning skills they need to survive in a regular school setting and the world. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best. There is a wonderful Social Values class to help the students better understand good social behavior and better understand why they have been mistreated in other school situations. The teachers are highly skilled in working with students with learning differences. The principal is kind and knows each child by name. I would like to see some changes in the PE department to better encourage those students that are not athletically inclined. There are delicious, nutritious hot lunches served everyday. There is a great after school homework tutoring program. There is an athletic program. Parent involvement is quite good. However, I would like to see a stronger endowment and annual fund raising program.
