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


Deer Valley, AZ — Social interaction is a fundamental part of overall well-being, especially for children as they develop the unspoken rules of communication and connection. Learning how to collaborate, express themselves, and form friendships is essential for long-term emotional and social success. At Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school specializing in one-to-one instruction, students at the Deer Valley campus are given ample opportunities to engage with peers in a supportive and structured environment, ensuring they build essential social skills while receiving individualized instruction.


One of the ways Brightmont Academy promotes socialization is through lunchtime activities and special events. "We have monthly birthday celebrations during lunchtime to promote staff and students of all ages socializing. We encourage art class four days a week at lunchtime," says Janie Rosenthal, Campus Director of the Deer Valley campus. "If we know that students are bonding, I call the parents to arrange outside-of-school playdates."


Brightmont Academy also designs schedules that foster natural social interactions. "Besides the above options, we encourage schedules to allow students to stay over at lunchtime. It's a good way to encourage the students to meet new students and form friendships," Rosenthal explains.


For many families considering a one-to-one learning model, socialization is a top concern. "Most parents feel that a one-to-one environment excludes the opportunity to meet other students," Rosenthal adds. "We go above and beyond to help our kids form friendships." To address these concerns, Brightmont Academy integrates social experiences into the academic journey, proving that a personalized approach to education can still cultivate strong peer connections.


Through structured activities, thoughtful scheduling, and an emphasis on community building, Brightmont Academy’s Deer Valley campus ensures that students thrive academically while also forming lasting friendships. The school remains committed to providing a balanced educational experience that nurtures both intellectual growth and meaningful social interactions.


Brightmont Academy is located at 2222 W Pinnacle Peak Road, Suite 110 in Deer Valley 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 20 campuses in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington.
