  • Parent Testimonials

    “One of the best moments I've had parenting is when my daughter out of the blue, teary-eyed, thanked me for helping her graduate. She said she knew she couldn't have done it without Brightmont...Brightmont was the start of new beginnings for both of us. Thank you for giving her confidence!”

    -Kelly K., parent


    “We love everything about Brightmont, especially our Director Jennifer Sorenson! She has been amazing with our son on a personal level as well as academically. She really cares about his well being.”

    -Gwen G., parent


    “I love how the Brightmont experience has brought back my child's self-confidence and has increased his self-awareness. He's excited about his future and is open to possibilities he never believed he could achieve before.”

    -Julie U., parent


    “My daughter was not thriving in a traditional school and arrived at Brightmont significantly behind grade level and with no confidence in her ability to succeed. The Brightmont teachers were excellent and incredibly supportive. With their help, she graduated from high school at Brightmont feeling proud of all she accomplished.”

    -Jane M., parent


    “Brightmont has completely changed school for our son. He was completely refusing to go to school because of his anxiety. He has no issues going now and is doing very well academically.”

    -Anonymous, parent


    “We love the one on one instruction. My child loves the Plymouth staff.”

    -Anonymous, parent


    “Our son attended Brightmont Academy in Plymouth in 8th grade (the only reason we left is due to our move to a different state). He had struggled in a traditional school setting, the large classes did not suit his learning style. We researched many possible schools, only Brightmont offered everything we were looking for. Jess and her team of educators have created a welcoming environment where each individual student is encouraged fully. Our son's time at Brightmont has forever changed his view of learning and school in general, he is now a motivated student who has confidence in his abilities. One of the greatest bonuses of sending our son to Brightmont was the one to one teacher/student ratio. This enabled the teachers to really get to know him in a way that is not possible in a traditional school setting. We fully recommend Brightmont Academy to any family who is looking for a quality education in a caring setting for their son or daughter.”

    -Verity B., parent

  • Teacher Testimonials

I immediately felt at home here. One-on-one instruction allows teachers to build strong relationships with students which, in turn, translates into highly effective learning. Brightmont is the best!”

    -Erin, Math & Science Instructor
