Brightmont Academy Provides Personalized Support for Special Education Students

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


Boca Raton, FL — In honor of Special Education Day, Brightmont Academy recognizes the importance of providing tailored educational support to students with special needs. Many of these students face challenges in traditional public schools due to limited flexibility in meeting their unique learning requirements. A recent study shows that 80% to 85% of children who qualify for special education can achieve the same results as their neurotypical peers if given the right instruction and accommodations.


Brightmont addresses this issue with its one-to-one instructional model, ensuring personalized support for each student’s needs. “My role involves ensuring that every student receives personalized support tailored to their unique needs, especially those under the special education classification,” said Debbie Cohen, Campus Director of the Boca Raton location. “We achieve this by offering personalized learning and adapting teaching methods to match each student’s strengths and challenges. We create an inclusive environment where our students feel safe, valued, and respected, and focus on building a sense of school community.”


According to Cohen, “It is important for these kids because they often learn differently. Brightmont's individualized learning provides the opportunity to tailor instruction to their unique learning styles and helps them to grasp concepts more effectively. When students receive the necessary support and we teach how they learn, this leads to greater self-confidence and engagement.”


Cohen shared success stories demonstrating this model's effectiveness in supporting special education students. “Fortunately, I have several success stories about children at our campus that fit under that special education classification. A couple of them began at Brightmont as nonreaders, and now we can proudly say that they are decoding simple text and increasing their sight vocabulary. I have even received feedback from the speech therapist who has worked with the students for years, saying that she cannot believe the progress she has seen since they started with us in the summer!”


Brightmont Academy is located at 19102 S State Road 7 in Boca Raton and is currently accepting enrollments. Families and professionals are invited to attend an Open House event on Thursday, December 19th, 2024, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. 

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.
