Private School in Miami and Boca Raton Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Miami and Boca Raton, FL — Tens of thousands of students in the Southeast face major disruptions due to hurricanes, with severe storms causing damage to homes, campuses, and infrastructure. Public schools often experience prolonged closures after these events, but Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school, ensures that students stay on track with its one-to-one instructional model and flexible learning options. Brightmont’s personalized learning model enables students and families to navigate Florida’s unpredictable weather with ease. “At Brightmont, we’re fully prepared to adapt to Florida’s unpredictable weather,” says Monica Torres, Campus Director of the Miami location. “Our one-to-one model enables us to move seamlessly between in-person and online instruction. If online classes aren’t an option due to power outages, or if a specific student isn’t suited to virtual learning, we can pause classes. Once it’s safe to return to campus, students pick up right where they left off, ensuring no loss in progress.” Brightmont’s ability to tailor learning plans guarantees students don’t fall behind during weather-related closures. “Public schools often follow a fixed schedule, so when closures happen, students miss class time and may need to rush or skip content,” Torres explained. “Brightmont offers flexibility. Our students can switch to online instruction or pause learning, depending on what’s best for them. This ensures no learning is sacrificed, and families can focus on safety, knowing their child’s education won’t be disrupted.” Brightmont Academy is located at 6101 SW 76th Street in Miami and 19102 S State Road 7 in Boca Raton and is currently accepting enrollments.

It’s clear that students benefit immensely from a one-to-one teaching model. Students receive undivided attention, experience less distraction, and enjoy an approach that meets their precise needs. But how do teachers feel about it? Do they benefit from it, too? At Brightmont Academy , the resounding reply is “yes!” — and for many reasons. For the most part, those reasons can be summed up in three key words: customization, efficiency, and connection. Customization Many people envision education as a teacher at a blackboard explaining a concept to a classroom full of students—relying on one approach and one technique to serve the masses. But that scenario is quite different at Brightmont.  “You can adjust your teaching to how the student learns,” says Kate Doan, a Science and Math teacher at Brightmont in Mendota Heights, Minn. In other words, it’s always student first, concept second, in devising a teaching method. “For example, today I was covering how to solve a problem in math with one of my students,” adds Kate. “I was able to ask about her preferred method to work through a math problem, then I showed her how to do it in her preferred way.”

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Alpharetta, GA — With roughly 13% of high school students in the United States not graduating on time, many families are seeking solutions to help their children catch up academically.

Kimberly Exford, Campus Director of Brightmont’s Alpharetta location, emphasizes the importance of taking the right initial steps for credit recovery. “Typically, if a student needs credit recovery, the family should first contact the child's current school to get a transcript,” she explained. “Then, meet with your local Brightmont Academy Campus Director so you can compare your child's course(s) to those offered at Brightmont. From there, families can enroll in one or more credit recovery courses at various levels (i.e., Honors, AP, etc.).” Brightmont Academy works collaboratively with schools to keep students on the right path. “We work with schools by not only being a resource for them to refer families to but also by providing communication with them throughout a child's time with us to share updates, etc., if the parents would like,” Exford continued. “We also work with schools after a credit recovery course to provide an updated transcript reflecting the child's new grade. Finally, Brightmont offers more than 50 NCAA®-approved courses as well for students wanting to pursue athletics at the collegiate level.” The academy’s adaptable scheduling options ensure that students can complete their courses efficiently. “Brightmont Academy can offer a variety of courses at convenient times during the week, including late afternoons and evenings,” Exford added. “We are also able to offer credit recovery courses virtually as well for those students that need a more flexible schedule.

Three keys for Successful Teacher/Therapist Collaboration

Private School in Boca Raton Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Boca Raton, FL — In honor of Special Education Day, Brightmont Academy recognizes the importance of providing tailored educational support to students with special needs. Many of these students face challenges in traditional public schools due to limited flexibility in meeting their unique learning requirements. A recent study shows that 80% to 85% of children who qualify for special education can achieve the same results as their neurotypical peers if given the right instruction and accommodations. Brightmont addresses this issue with its one-to-one instructional model, ensuring personalized support for each student’s needs. “My role involves ensuring that every student receives personalized support tailored to their unique needs, especially those under the special education classification,” said Debbie Cohen, Campus Director of the Boca Raton location. “We achieve this by offering personalized learning and adapting teaching methods to match each student’s strengths and challenges. We create an inclusive environment where our students feel safe, valued, and respected, and focus on building a sense of school community.” According to Cohen, “It is important for these kids because they often learn differently. Brightmont's individualized learning provides the opportunity to tailor instruction to their unique learning styles and helps them to grasp concepts more effectively. When students receive the necessary support and we teach how they learn, this leads to greater self-confidence and engagement.” Cohen shared success stories demonstrating this model's effectiveness in supporting special education students. “Fortunately, I have several success stories about children at our campus that fit under that special education classification. A couple of them began at Brightmont as nonreaders, and now we can proudly say that they are decoding simple text and increasing their sight vocabulary. I have even received feedback from the speech therapist who has worked with the students for years, saying that she cannot believe the progress she has seen since they started with us in the summer!” Brightmont Academy is located at 19102 S State Road 7 in Boca Raton and is currently accepting enrollments.
