The STARS Program is open to students who have various learning needs
such as learning disabilities, inclusive of dyslexia, ADHD and
dysgraphia, as well as students with Asperger’s Syndrome.
We provide a structured, multi-sensory, phonetic approach to
learning in a classroom environment that promotes confidence and
self-esteem. The individual instruction, with a 5:1 student-faculty
ratio, allows students from Kindergarten through Ninth grade to
acquire the necessary skills and tools to become successful
students.
Our teachers are directly trained in and utilize the Orton-Gillingham
approach to teaching. It is phonetically based and multi-sensory.
Thus, a child learns phonics in a very structured, sequential
manner, using all his senses simultaneously; visual, auditory,
kinesthetic and tactile. Each child is allowed to learn at his own
pace and receives intensive, individualized instruction daily. This
highly-structured program serves as an intervention program in which
a child stays as long as it takes to remediate his skills to the
point where he or she is successful. The goal of the BRAAC is to
return the student to the mainstream prepared and capable of being
successful in the regular classroom.
BRAAC is an inclusive model school; open to enrolling typically
developing home schooled students who are accepting of those with
special learning needs and whose parents wish for them to have a
smaller classroom experience where students can move at a faster
pace, receive a lot of individualized teaching and appreciate a
strong value system. Please call us for more information.
