Student Success

Jack had attended multiple public and private schools before finding the perfect fit at Brightmont. His mom Michelle says he likes going to school again! If you would like to hear directly from a Brightmont parent or guardian about their experience at Brightmont, please contact us.

The Chandler campus passed out over 30 certificates, recognizing students who had completed a course during the last couple of months!

Homework Studio

Brightmont offers Homework Studio to provide structured time that is built into a student's school day during which the student may work on their homework assignments. Homework Studio sessions are scheduled at a specific time on specific days, like course sessions. A teacher is present to provide support, including helping students with their assignments and reminding them to update their Homework Trackers. It is a group setting so there may be multiple students present for the same session.



Homework Studio is now available via Google Meet for students whose current instruction preference is via Google Meet instead of on campus. It is available during specific hours within the school day. Families who are interested in this option can contact the Campus Director for more information.

Teacher Peggy helps students in Homework Studio both on campus and via Google Meet.

Campus Improvements

At our Redmond campus, we are re-doing our Homework Studio and have added 13 more classrooms to provide one-to-one instruction to more students.

Health and Safety Guidelines

Our families, students and teachers have been respecting and following the COVID-19 safety guidelines to maintain health and safety on our campuses. Students who need to stay at home temporarily may still attend their scheduled sessions via Google Meet. Parents and visitors need to make an appointment to come onto the campus.
