Take advantage of the one-to-one instruction that works. Our unique educational approach is based on 25 years of experience helping students in grades K-12 succeed academically. At Brightmont Academy, we identify and support the needs of each student, whether they struggle with depression and/or anxiety, learning disabilities, health issues or other special needs.


Brightmont’s educational model is mastery-based, empowering students to actively engage in their studies at their own pace while being challenged and supported throughout the learning process. We offer a range of programs throughout the year including full-time school, individual courses, tutoring, and skill-building programs. We offer open enrollment so you can start right away.


Contact Campus Director Michelle Platt to learn more. We look forward to working together with your student and family to create a customized education program to meet your student’s specific academic needs.
