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


Castle Rock, CO – High school students' absenteeism, aside from physical illness and bad weather, was predominantly attributed to anxiety, with 16% citing it as the top reason for missing school in the past year. Additionally, 12% mentioned feeling too sad or depressed as a hindrance to attendance. Being a teenager in today's world brings with it a high level of anxiety. Oftentimes, the school environment can be the nucleus of such fears. Whether it is social anxiety, academic pressures, large classrooms with loud chaos, or all of it, many students need a change.


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's safe learning environment and supportive teachers are integral to the emotional well-being of all students, including those with anxiety and/or depression. “Our goal at Brightmont is to reduce the common anxiety triggers that come with attending a large school. When students attend our school, they see that they are not alone. They are not classified as a SPED student or a student with problems - they are just a student. A student that is given the opportunity to achieve, succeed, and accomplish. A student that will receive the support they need on an individual level,” said Matthew Sanders, Campus Director of the Castle Pines location.


New students can enroll at any time with open enrollment all throughout the school year. Brightmont Academy is open year-round and offers customized scheduling, allowing students the flexibility to balance priorities. This proven model effectively serves students who have learning difficulties, specifically students dealing with mental health issues. Sanders adds, “We offer one-to-one instruction which can allow the student to feel more comfortable asking questions without peer interruptions. We are also able to accommodate an instructional pacing that supports the individual student. As an example, if a student misses a class - we do not continue on. We pause instruction until the student can return, resulting in no make-up work.”


Brightmont Academy is located at 858 W. Happy Canyon Rd. Suite 170 in Castle Rock 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.
