FAQs

While our program supports children with various learning needs, we require psychological testing within the first year to rule out other significant learning disabilities. Our program benefits students with average to above average IQ scores who have an unexpected difficulty learning to read. Reach out today if you have questions about your child’s learning needs and let us help you navigate.

When the children come to us, although very bright, they are usually discouraged with school and have become ‘followers’ of their peers. They have struggled so much in school to keep up, many have ‘shut down’ and have stopped trying. We at Bright Academy assess each child when they come in to determine grade levels in reading, spelling and math. All students are assessed periodically to insure set goals are being met and progress is taking place.

Each day all students receive small group dyslexia therapy which is an hour of intensive, systematic, sequential, diagnostic and prescriptive instruction in all language areas (phonics, reading, fluency, comprehension, spelling, handwriting, grammar and more). They also receive small group math instruction with the goal of achieving grade level or above skill level. Grade level language arts, science and social studies are taught in larger groups so students can work together in groups.

We instruct and monitor each child as they complete tasks to insure learning is taking place and benchmark goals are being met. It is the goal of the Bright Academy program for each child to become independent learners so they can be successful when returning to the regular classroom.

All of our students also receive art instruction every week.
