Curriculums
Learning designed for each student
From core academics to real-world living skills, our individualized programs help every BEA student grow — academically, socially, and personally.
Academic Curriculum
Core subjects, taught with creativity
Our full academic curriculum consists of core subject areas such as ELA (English Language Arts), Math, Reading, Social Studies and Science. It is important here at BEA to make sure that our students are really understanding what is being taught.
Our teachers use different teaching techniques such as individualized learning, differentiated instruction, technology-based learning, lecture-based instruction, game-based learning, small group learning, and — with some classrooms — block scheduling to provide our students more time in each subject. Our teachers take their time creating lesson plans to make sure these subjects are targeted, but with a twist of creativity.
Living Skills Program
Building independence and responsibility
Our Living Skills Program builds up daily living experiences while promoting basic work habits and a sense of responsibility. This program includes, but is not limited to, employment training, money management, health and hygiene, daily functional skills, house chores, community outings, and basic culinary skills.
Our teachers not only teach the vocabulary and function of these skills, but also create scenarios that provide our students with opportunities to master these skills.
Learning Without Tears
Building fine motor & handwriting skills
Our school has been using the Learning Without Tears program for years and has truly seen success. This program consists of music, technology, and hands-on manipulatives in every lesson. Not only do our students enjoy it, but our staff does too.
Fine motor skills can be a struggle for many of our students, but incorporating this program into their day-to-day learning has shown an immense amount of progress in our students' pre-handwriting and handwriting skills.
