Who Learn Differently

The greatest benefit of a small, flexible, private school is that learning can be tailored to each child's specific needs. 🚀

Our certified teachers differentiate each student’s learning pathway. They will track your child’s growth & allow them to progress at their own pace, with the help of adaptive learning software.
Our
mastery based curriculum is designed with a mix of compelling modern media, classical texts, exciting projects & rigorous exercises that engage them deeply.

Supporting Students With Special Needs & Learning Differences

Your child will learn how to master their mind & leverage their learning differences.

  • For students with Dyslexia, instruction and assessments can all be customized for them to go at their pace and dig deeper with their teacher.

  • Here are just a few of the accommodations that have helped our students with ASD:

    • clearly established and ordered routines

    • warning and preparation when changes are anticipated

    • planning and practicing communication strategies and social routines

    • student breaks & time-out when necessary

    • visual schedules and graphic organizers

    • visual or written, rather than auditory, instructions

  • Students who have ADD/ADHD are provided with the support they need to thrive. Distractions are managed and students actively engage in class at all times.

  • Anxiety comes in many forms: social, school, general, test, and more. At BMS we can personalize the experience to create a space where students feel safe and supported. Teachers also act as mentors and check in with students throughout the class period and school day.
