Our Programs

Early Intervention Individualized Instruction

Every child has an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) prescribed by the School Assessment Specialist formulated according to the child's assessed strengths and weaknesses. The IEP is implemented by the SpEd teacher and the specific therapists on a one-on-one basis.

Phonetic Reading Program

For children with difficulties in Reading, this program which uses The School of Tomorrow ABC's with Ace and Christi curriculum brings children to the world of phonics with songs and stories for specific sounds. With two teachers in a classroom with ten children, it is easy for a child to learn phonetic reading.

School of Tomorrow Learning Center

With certain adaptations to meet the needs of special learners, this curriculum features a highly structured learning environment through individualized offices, character building workbooks called PACES and mastery based lessons. This is an ideal curriculum for children with mild to moderate developmental delay, learning disabilities, mild autism, hearing impairment, behavior problem and physical disabilities.

Sight Reading Program

For children with perceptual problems, this program is designed with games, informal structure (to minimize the fear of reading) and interesting lessons to inspire children to read and remember words by sight. This is for children who can not learn by phonetic means.

Pre-Vocational Training

This program is designed to inspire youths with developmental delay to work and develop daily living skills. This will also prepare them to face life beyond schooling. Vocational skills for certain jobs are individually determined by the school management with parents of the clients. The clients are then trained through specific skills development and referral to the local manpower center or community college.

The strength of THE BIRTHRIGHT SCHOOL lies in its well-trained, dedicated and concerned teachers and staff. Each teacher is trained to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a client for the first two weeks, after which the parents, the teacher and the Directress sit together with the client’s medical specialist to formulate the Individualized Educational Prescription.
