Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Redmond, WA – In an era where flexibility and personalized learning are increasingly valued, hybrid scheduling emerges as a beacon of innovation in the educational landscape. According to recent studies, over 70% of high school students express interest in participating in extracurricular activities while maintaining their academic pursuits. Brightmont Academy pioneers a transformative approach with its hybrid scheduling model, catering to the diverse needs of modern learners. Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school, offers a flexible and customized learning alternative to traditional schools. In today's educational landscape, students seek personalized solutions to meet their diverse needs. Brightmont Academy recognizes this and is proud to offer a range of enrollment options tailored to each student's goals and requirements. Kerri Resing, Campus Director of the Redmond location, explains, “Students have a variety of reasons for taking courses with us: grade replacement, credit recovery, to get extra help with a class that they struggle with, or to dive deeper into a subject that they enjoy. Some students attend full-time and graduate from Brightmont while other students take individual courses with us. If full-time enrollment or individual courses are not the best fit, we do offer a hybrid solution where students take some of their courses at Brightmont Academy while still attending their home high school or middle school for some courses for part of the school day.” Hybrid scheduling at Brightmont Academy empowers students to enjoy the best of both worlds. They can participate in electives and activities at their home schools, such as drama, orchestra, band, etc., while benefiting from personalized one-on-one instruction for some or all of their academic courses. This innovative approach ensures that students receive the individualized support they need to excel academically, without sacrificing their interests and involvement in extracurricular pursuits. Resing adds, “Hybrid enrollment is a great way for students to get the best of both worlds. They are able to participate in electives or activities that they are interested in that don’t translate well to a one-to-one setting like drama, orchestra, band, etc. At the same time, they are able to get the additional support that they need in some or all of their academic courses through our customized one-on-one instruction.” Brightmont Academy is located in eight states and is currently accepting enrollments.

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students According to researchers' estimations, approximately 20% to 40% of students excel in reading above their grade level, while approximately 11% to 30% perform similarly in math. Gifted and twice-exceptional (2E) students face unique challenges in traditional educational settings, often struggling to find a balance between their above-average intelligence and learning differences. Brightmont Academy is committed to empowering these students through a tailored learning environment that maximizes their potential. Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school, offers a flexible and customized learning alternative to traditional schools. In many classrooms, 2E students feel trapped between two worlds, where their exceptional abilities are overshadowed by their learning differences, leading to frustration and a sense of being underserved. Recognizing the need for a solution, Brightmont Academy offers a revolutionary approach: a one student to one teacher classroom. Karen Buckner, Campus Director of the Northfield location, explains, “Brightmont Academy is a great opportunity for kids who are outstanding from a grade level perspective. Sometimes, because of other challenges like staying focused, they don’t really fit into a mold. We have a student right now who is 7 years old and taking 6th-grade English, Social Studies, and Science. It’s a difficult fit in a traditional classroom where that child is going to feel good about his achievements. He walks out of here every day with a smile on his face because he is being challenged and he is successful.” This personalized setting is perfectly designed to address the needs of 2E students, providing individualized attention and support that is often lacking in traditional classrooms. By focusing on the unique strengths and challenges of each student, Brightmont Academy creates an environment where 2E students can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. Buckner adds, “One of the first things we do is give an assessment that is used in thousands of schools around the country. We give the assessment in reading or math or both. It allows us to see the students’ strengths and weaknesses. When you have a 6-year-old that comes in that is placing in 7th grade math you know you have something special there. And we know and the parents know they have something special, but they don’t know what to do. They look for a traditional gifted school, but it doesn’t quite work for them because of the executive functioning piece.” Brightmont Academy is located in eight states and is currently accepting enrollments.

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Sammamish, WA – As the Spring semester progresses, students often encounter increased academic challenges and pressures.

As students embark on this pivotal period, Brightmont Academy reaffirms its commitment to nurturing individual potential and guiding students toward academic success.

As the end of the year approaches and students start to become distracted, Brightmont Academy remains committed to keeping them on track towards academic success through collaborative efforts and personalized support. “For our kids planning to graduate soon, senioritis can be just as real as at any traditional school; by no means are our students immune! I love to see how our teachers and admins all work together to celebrate the home stretch run with the kids, and an advantage we have here is that we don't have hundreds of students eyeing the finish line and distracting one another. I've worked in public high schools and taught senior courses, and though it is always exciting, it gets extremely difficult for students and staff, and the euphoria and distractedness usually begins much earlier than spring and only gets worse from there,” said Derek Heinz, Campus Director of the Sammamish location. New students can enroll at any time with open enrollment all throughout the school year. Summer often presents an opportunity for students to explore their interests, strengthen their skills, and prepare for the future. Brightmont Academy recognizes the importance of utilizing this time effectively and offers a range of programs designed to keep students engaged and motivated during the summer break. Heinz explains, “It seems like prospective students and their families begin looking into summer enrollment earlier every year. Plenty of students are looking for credit retrieval courses, skill building opportunities in math, reading and/or writing, and ACT/SAT prep programs. Another trend I've noticed is for students to take high school courses in their most challenging courses here with us so that they can avoid doing so in crowded classrooms where they feel they cannot learn as effectively.” Brightmont Academy is located at 4588 Klahanie Dr. SE, Suite 401 in Sammamish and is currently accepting enrollments.

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Seattle, WA – In a recent study, it was found that elite athletes exhibited decreased overall academic achievement compared to their non-athlete counterparts, with the demands of sports activities and rigid academic schedules being contributing factors. Recognizing these challenges, Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school, offers a flexible, customized learning alternative to traditional schools. Brightmont Academy understands the hurdles that athletes encounter while striving for excellence in both their sport and academics. One such student who has benefited from this tailored approach is Vaughn, a talented sprint kayaker. Tony Beals, Vice President of Admissions and Enrollment Solutions at Brightmont Academy's Seattle location, highlights Vaughn's experience: "He only did his courses online with us as it was more convenient for him. He was an excellent student who graduated with a 4.0 GPA, took several honors classes, had excellent attendance and punctuality, and was very inquisitive and asked a lot of in-depth questions. Brightmont was a good fit because we could move at his pace and challenge him where he wanted to be challenged, and slow down where he needed to slow down. We took stress out of school for him so he could progress academically during his classes, but then also put 100% of his focus into his kayaking when he was competing, so he didn't have to worry about either interfering with the other." Vaughn's experience at Brightmont Academy exemplifies the institution's commitment to providing flexible academic support for elite athletes. Whether at a training center, on the road, or at home, Vaughn could complete coursework on a schedule designed to best fit with travel and practices. Vaughn explains, "Brightmont allowed me to complete classes in a much more time efficient manner. Unlike in a regular schooling environment, I was not locked into completing each class with a specific amount of time spent in class. If I could get more done in the allotted class time, I would finish the class sooner. This meant that as long as I worked efficiently, I would be rewarded with significantly more time to train. Brightmont was also very cooperative with scheduling, allowing me to take necessary breaks from school for the sake of competitions and training camps. If you have the option of attending Brightmont, I strongly feel that high school athletes with high aspirations would benefit enormously from the flexibility it offers."
