Brightmont Academy Reaches New Milestone With 2025 Record Enrollment

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students

National — Brightmont Academy, a private school providing one-to-one instruction for students in grades 1–12, is celebrating its strongest year in company history. In 2025, Brightmont reached over 1,600 students nationwide, its highest total since the school was founded 25 years ago.

CEO Karen Buckner says this milestone affirms what families have been seeking in today’s education landscape. “It was super exciting to be involved in a school setting where we're continuing to grow enrollment every year. And last year for 2025 was record enrollment for us.” According to Buckner, parents are increasingly looking for a setting where their children feel supported, understood, and academically encouraged. Brightmont’s one-to-one model and flexible learning structure have helped meet these needs.

Buckner notes that many students have faced academic challenges in recent years, and families are prioritizing environments that adapt to individual learning needs. “I think it really validates what a lot of people are saying, that their kids need a personalized educational approach… our ability to meet the students where they're at, be in a one-to-one environment where the student doesn't have to feel self-conscious about any weaknesses… Brightmont fills both needs, and we do it very well.” Brightmont continues to see enrollment growth across elementary, middle, and high school levels. The school’s small, supportive setting has resonated with families who want a place where their child feels safe, welcomed, and motivated.

With demand rising, Brightmont is preparing for another strong year. The school anticipates surpassing its record again in 2026 through both enrollment increases and campus expansion. “They are looking for personalized instruction. They're looking for a safe environment. They're looking for a place where their kid can feel welcomed and are excited about attending school… all of those trends are things that Brightmont has. 2026 is going to be a very exciting year for Brightmont.” In 2026, Brightmont plans to open several new locations, bringing its total to almost 30  campuses nationwide, doubling since 2023. Several existing campuses are also expanding or relocating to better serve growing student populations.

Brightmont Academy is located in nine states, which will soon be ten next month, and is currently accepting enrollments.
