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


Birmingham, MI – For the third consecutive academic year, Michigan students have witnessed a continual decline in their average scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). Registering at 959.9, the average score experienced a notable drop of 36.1 points compared to the previous year, marking the lowest performance since the test's statewide implementation in the 2015-16 school year. Recognizing the significance of these exams, Brightmont Academy stands at the forefront, offering SAT/ACT test preparation services tailored to the unique needs of students.


Brightmont Academy is a nationally accredited private school that offers a flexible, customized learning alternative to traditional schools. One experienced teacher works with one student throughout every learning session. Brightmont Academy takes a proactive approach to elevate students' success in the increasingly competitive landscape of standardized testing by offering comprehensive SAT and ACT test prep packages. “Brightmont Academy offers SAT and ACT test prep packages which cover content review, practice tests, and essential test-taking strategies. Students receive a written report showing progress and get a consultation to discuss practice test results and recommendations,” said Annette Looser, Campus Director of the Birmingham location.


This proven model effectively serves students who have learning difficulties, those who want to accelerate their studies, and those whose needs aren’t met in traditional schools. Recognizing that each student has unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, Brightmont's tailored approach ensures that students receive targeted support where they need it the most. Looser adds, “At Brightmont, every session we run is 1:1. This means that we can customize the instruction according to whatever the student needs to be most successful on the exam. Students take a practice test that is graded prior to their first session. The class time is used to work on areas where the student struggled on the practice test. Instead of teaching the same material to a large group of students, the instruction is personalized according to what the student needs.”


Brightmont Academy is located at 33483 Woodward Avenue in Birmingham and is currently accepting enrollments.


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. Brightmont Academy has served thousands of students since 1999 and has 18 campuses in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington.
