Our Story
Founded by a passionate team of educators and advocates for educational reform, Be the Light Education grew from a shared frustration with the status quo in literacy education. Witnessing firsthand the struggles of students with learning disabilities, we were driven to create solutions that not only address these challenges but also celebrate each student's potential. Today, we are proud to partner with private schools, parents and educators, guiding them towards a brighter, more inclusive future in education.
Our Mission
At Be the Light Education, our mission is to illuminate the path to literacy for every student. We specialize in partnering with private schools and educators to enhance literacy instruction, ensuring that children with learning and language differences receive the education they deserve. By integrating the classical approach to education with modern, evidence-based literacy techniques, we empower schools to foster inclusive environments where all students thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child, regardless of their learning challenges, achieves literacy proficiency—a fundamental skill that lays the groundwork for all future academic and personal success. Our goal is to transform the way literacy is taught, making it more inclusive, effective, and inspiring for students and educators alike.
