Tuition Options

Tuition financing

At this time, the only external option available is for families to independently apply for a personal loan through Lending Club at https://www.lendingclub.com/personal-loan. If approved, funds are issued directly to the family, who would then remain responsible for making tuition payments to Brightmont Academy.


Brightmont Academy does not endorse or promote Lending Club or any loan provider, as interest rates may be high and circumstances vary. We are sharing this information solely as a resource for families to explore on their own and determine if it may be a fit for their individual situation.

529 Funds

On January 1, 2018, the rules changed for 529 plans (college savings accounts). They can now be used to pay for up to $10,000 per year of middle school and high school tuition. If you have questions on the guidelines or how to use those funds for Brightmont tuition, please contact your 529 plan administrator.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Some employers offer the benefit of a flexible spending account, enabling pre-tax money to be set aside for health care expenses. In some circumstances when an underlying physical or mental health issue including learning disabilities and other conditions impacting learning like attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is the determining factor for enrolling in Brightmont, then that money may be used to fund tuition at Brightmont Academy. Please check with your benefits specialist to determine whether or not this is an approved option with your employer’s flexible spending account requirements.

District Placements

In rare circumstances, a public school district may choose to place a student at Brightmont Academy to receive one-to-one instruction for part or all of their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals, or to implement compensatory education services or extended school year instruction. If your IEP case manager has offered any of these options to you and you wish to consider Brightmont Academy to receive services, please contact us to schedule a campus tour.

If you represent a public school district and wish to consider placing a student at Brightmont Academy, please email Anna Vasquez at Anna.Vasquez@BrightmontAcademy.com or call her at (630) 917-0217 to discuss the situation and appropriate options.
