The BrightSide Academy Program

THE 3D APPROACH

The center offers an integrated program for learners with autism that is goal focused and strength-based. Our program was designed with the student’s individual needs and happiness in mind. We believe that a happy environment with a holistic and goal-focused education is key to the sustained learning and development of every student, and will help them maximize their potential and achieve their goals in life.

Our top priority – to bring happiness to every child and their families.

The BSA 3D Approach & Integrated Program shows the learning path of every learner enrolled in Treston-BrightSide Academy (Treston-BSA).

Explore, the discovery program of Treston-BSA, is a holistic approach that introduces students to different areas of interests to help them discover their passion in life as a possible hobby or career in the future. The discovery program, in most cases, is introduced to students in their first year with BSA.

Explore consists of happiness tracks, learning support, and independent living with academics. The academics program is based on the student’s grade level and entry point capabilities after academic assessment.

DISCOVER

EXPLORE. A Treston-BSA Discovery Program that allows students to discover their talents, potential, and study of interest.

FIT, the development program of Treston-BSA, is given to senior high school students (Grade 11-12), and those taking up vocational programs and undergraduate programs in college. The program focuses on the most suitable specialization for the student which best fits his strengths and study of interest, while delivering the required academic courses in school.

Once the student exhibits strong interest and strength in an area of study, he/she will be enrolled in a specific happiness track on top of his academic courses. The chosen happiness track is an area of interest and strength that the student can master over a period of time, a specialization which may lead to a possible career in the future. 

Learning support such as occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, functional fitness, energy management and training on independent living are also provided as part of the program.

DEVELOP

FIT. A Treston-BSA Development Program that helps learners focus on their study of interest to develop and master their skills.

Academic subjects are delivered in partnership with Our Lady of Pilar Montessori Center (OLPMC) for K-10 and Treston International College (TIC) for senior high school to college.

Students are taught based on their grade level. The delivery of academic subjects may be modified to meet the student’s current grade level, competencies and level of development.

Academics

The Happiness Tracks (HACKS) of BrightSide Academy is the heart of the center’s goal-focused program. It is an intelligent hack employed by the center to bring out the individual’s inner potential for success. Each track is designed to provide learners with basic, intermediate and advanced levels of training. 

Basic HACKS are given during the discovery program to give each learner a chance to know and experience the different areas of study and help our specialists understand the learner’s interests and strengths. Intermediate to advanced HACKS are given during the development program to help learners hone and master their skills  and competencies in a particular area of study, which can lead to a possible exit point or career in the future.

Specializations in culinary management, multimedia arts, information technology, hospitality and tourism are available in college. Arts and design, culinary arts, pastry arts, and information & communications technology are offered as certificate programs.
