Brightmont Academy Provides Stability and Support Amid School Closures

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


Phoenix, AZ — As several schools across Arizona close, students face significant academic and personal challenges. Research shows that school closures during a child’s K-12 education often lead to declines in test scores, attendance issues, and behavioral disruptions. Long-term effects can include lower college completion rates and reduced employment opportunities. In response, Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school specializing in one-to-one instruction, provides a stable and supportive learning environment, ensuring students have access to uninterrupted, high-quality education.


Beyond academics, school closures impact students’ emotional and social development. “School closures disrupt not only academic progress but also students' social-emotional well-being,” said Shari Guerra, Campus Director of Brightmont’s newest Phoenix location off the 101 Freeway and McDowell. “For many, the relationships built within their school community are a foundation for their confidence, personal growth, and future aspirations. When these institutions suddenly become unstable or disappear altogether, families are forced to make difficult decisions with limited time and resources.”


As Arizona communities navigate these closures, families seek educational solutions that provide continuity and support. Brightmont’s flexible, one-to-one instruction model ensures students stay engaged and on track. “The chaos surrounding school closures underscores the importance of flexible and innovative education models,” Guerra said. “Families should have access to options that ensure students remain engaged and academically on track, regardless of external disruptions. Brightmont Academy is a beacon of stability, offering a structured yet adaptable learning environment where students receive dedicated attention from expert educators.”


Prioritizing students' academic and emotional well-being is at the core of Brightmont’s mission. “Students must remain at the heart of every educational decision made during these challenging times,” said Guerra. “Our mission is to support families and ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed in a safe and nurturing learning environment.”


Brightmont Academy is located at 1850 N. 95th Ave. Suite 180 in Phoenix and is currently accepting enrollments. Families and professionals are invited to attend an Open House event on Thursday, May 15th, 2025, 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.
