Private School Specializes in Customized Learning for 1st-12th Grade Students


In a national study involving high school students in the United States, scholars from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and the Yale Child Study Center discovered that almost 75% of the students expressed negative emotions in relation to their school experiences. Students mainly reported feeling tired, stressed, and bored during school.

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. One-to-one instruction provides a setting with more interaction and less distractions, offering a more positive experience for students.

"It's that one-to-one flexible experience. Students can really go through coursework and gain a lot with that one instructor, and moves as quickly or as slowly as needed. We meet students where they are and then help them gain the academic confidence to move forward from there" said Barbara Sitkiewicz, Barrington Campus Director.



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. Sitkiewicz explains, "It's for students who don't fit. It's like the round peg trying to fit into square holes that just are not successful in the normal academic arena. We can really modify lessons, we can modify schedules and teach to them specifically, no matter what they're learning or whatever type of obstacles they face educationally. We can work with those students and deliver education to them one teacher to one student on their terms."


Brightmont's safe learning environment and supportive teachers are integral to the emotional well-being of all students, including those with anxiety and/or depression or those who have been bullied. Sitkiewicz adds, "I watch students mature before my very eyes. When they start at Brightmont, it's difficult for whatever reason in their past, but then they're starting to mature, and they get in the groove here. They're supported at Brightmont, and then they can succeed."


Brightmont Academy is currently accepting enrollments.
