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


Barrington, IL – Approximately 141,500 students in Illinois will transition from middle school to their freshman year of high school in the next few months. As the academic year winds down and students prepare to take this next step in their educational journey, Brightmont Academy stands as a beacon of support, guiding students toward success in high 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. With a mission to empower students to reach their full potential, Brightmont Academy provides a comprehensive and personalized approach to education that prepares students for the rigors of high school both academically and emotionally. Barbara Sitkiewicz, Campus Director of the Barrington Campus, explains, “Getting kids to start on the right foot for high school is imperative as the transition to high school includes not only the academic transition but also the social-emotional transition. Struggling with academics adds an additional level of stress to the transition process which can lead to negative academic and emotional consequences."


Brightmont Academy recognizes the importance of a smooth transition to high school and is committed to providing students with the tools and support they need to thrive. Sitkiewicz adds, “Brightmont Academy offers a full complement of academic courses and focused skill-building courses that prepare students to transition to the high school level. Students can easefully complete credit recovery while working at their own pace at Brightmont Academy with the individualized support of the one-to-one instructional model.”


By providing a supportive and personalized learning environment, Brightmont Academy empowers students to embrace the challenges of high school with confidence and resilience. This personalized approach not only helps students excel academically but also fosters a sense of self-confidence and independence that will serve them well in high school and beyond.


Brightmont Academy is located at 400 E. Main St. in Barrington and is currently accepting enrollments. Families and professionals are invited to attend an Open House event on Thursday, June 20th, 2024, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
