A One-to-One Private School for Children With Anxiety
Brightmont Academy is an alternative school for children with anxiety, serving grades 1 through 12. Our unique one-to-one curriculum and flexible schedules help students build confidence and learn effectively in a safe, supportive environment.
How Our School Addresses the Needs of Children With Anxiety
Anxiety among kids and teenagers is on the rise, with over 20% of youth worldwide now exhibiting symptoms of anxiety disorders. For these students, school can be a major stressor, exacerbating social anxiety, introducing academic pressures, and causing sensory overload. Unfortunately, traditional schools often fail to recognize, understand, and address the challenges that anxiety poses to a child’s social, emotional, and academic development.
Brightmont is different. Our classrooms have a one-student-to-one-teacher ratio, effectively eliminating the fear of peer judgment and the stressful chaos of larger schools. We’ll work with your family to design a curriculum and schedule that accommodates your child’s learning needs. As a specialized school for children and teenagers with anxiety, our students:
- Receive personalized instruction that puts their academic success at the forefront, not that of anyone else
- Build strong relationships with their teachers, the campus director, and the campus staff
- Move at their own pace without ever falling behind
- Recenter themselves throughout the day thanks to a chunked curriculum
- Connect with other Brightmont students outside the classroom during campus activities
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I support my student with anxiety?
Brightmont suggests supporting your child with anxiety by building in extra time for transitions, presenting them with choices instead of ultimatums, establishing calming rituals, and celebrating small victories. Investing in professional mental health support and finding a learning environment that accommodates your child’s learning needs can also fuel their emotional, social, and academic development.
What are the benefits of private school for children with anxiety?
In traditional schools, it’s all too easy for children with anxiety to fall behind their peers due to missed school days, low class participation, and difficulties with executive functioning. Private schools, especially schools like Brightmont with a focus on personalized education, can offer the individual attention and flexibility that students with anxiety need to succeed.
At a personalized private school for children and teenagers with anxiety, teachers understand the needs of children with anxiety and have the bandwidth to ensure these students reach their full potential.
Are there special schools for kids with anxiety?
Specialized private schools for children with anxiety, like Brightmont, offer the personalized attention and care that students with anxiety need. In one-to-one classrooms, students don’t have to worry about what other students will think or do, freeing them to focus on their studies more effectively. Students can then interact outside the classroom with their peers, participating in campus activities such as daily lunches or clubs, to build their social skills.
