Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students Students Sammamish, WA – As the Spring semester progresses, students often encounter increased academic challenges and pressures. Factors such as fatigue, seasonal allergies, and the anticipation of summer break can contribute to heightened stress levels and academic struggles among students during this time. As students embark on this pivotal period, Brightmont Academy reaffirms its commitment to nurturing individual potential and guiding students toward academic success. Brightmont Academy is a nationally accredited private school that offers a flexible, customized learning alternative to traditional schools. 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. The Sammamish campus hosts open houses every Thursday from 9am – 4pm. Brightmont Academy is an accredited private school that provides one-to-one instruction. One experienced teacher works with one student throughout every learning session. Customized full-time programs and individual courses are offered for grades 1-12. Students can also receive individualized tutoring for all 1-12 subjects, study skills, and test prep.

Private School Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students 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." Brightmont Academy is located at 115 NE 100th St, Suite 200 in Seattle and is currently accepting enrollments. Brightmont Academy is an accredited private school that provides one-to-one instruction.

Maybe some subjects or areas they need to go back 6 months or a year, maybe even farther. They take the classes, maybe 20 sessions with us and they really can firm up that foundation.

A low risk 20 session package enables their student(s) to have the exact experience that they would have on a full-time basis, one teacher and one student in the classroom, and get to see the benefits of that before they make a big decision on whether or not Brightmont should be their full-time school.” Brightmont Academy is located in eight states and is currently accepting enrollments.
