Brightmont Academy: Helping Students Get Ahead and Reach Their Full Potential

September 28, 2024

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


Scottsdale, AZ – Research suggests that students are bored between a third to half of the time they spend in school, which can have a detrimental effect on their academic performance. Brightmont Academy, a one-to-one private school known for its individualized education approach, offers a solution by providing students with the flexibility they need to not only catch up but also get ahead. Through tailored pacing and personalized learning plans, Brightmont creates opportunities for students to excel beyond the constraints of traditional schooling.


Sarah Horton, the Campus Director of the Scottsdale campus, shares a compelling story about a student who has experienced this first-hand. “I have a student who started with us last year who returned this fall for a new school year. In the spring when his dad realized that he could attend over the summer and catch up on having been held back a year when he was younger, he was quite excited - as was the student. It turns out that being held back a year when he was younger had been haunting the student, and now that he has found a program that better fits his needs, he’s even happier that it allows for him to attend all year and potentially graduate with his original class.”


This success story highlights the transformative power of Brightmont's approach. The school’s flexible schedule allows students to advance at their own pace, free from the rigid timelines of traditional schools. “Pacing is important because that is where Brightmont can meet students’ needs,” Horton says. “Whether the student needs to take more time to master course material or the student is prepared to accelerate through the material, pacing is what allows us to do that.”


For parents noticing their child is bored in their current school, Brightmont encourages exploring alternative options. Brightmont's year-round learning model provides a space where students of all academic levels can thrive, avoid boredom, and engage in meaningful learning experiences. With the ability to customize each student’s learning path, Brightmont is more than just a school—it’s a place where students can unlock their full potential and move ahead on their own terms.


Brightmont Academy is located at 6990 E. Shea Blvd, Suite 120 in Scottsdale, and is currently accepting enrollments. Families and professionals are invited to attend an Open House event on Thursday, October 17th, 2024, between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
