Brightmont Academy is an accredited 1-12 private school that offers personal instruction—that means a 1:1 student-to-teacher ratio in every classroom. Discover how our mastery-based educational model empowers students to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Give your child an education that’s as unique as they are. As the leading private school in Plymouth, MN, Brightmont’s specialized educational approach is based on over 25 years of experience helping students in grades K-12 succeed academically. We recognize and support the needs of every student, including students with learning differences, students living with anxiety and/or depression, high-aptitude students, and student-athletes or performers with demanding schedules.
Brightmont’s educational model is mastery-based, empowering students to actively engage in their studies at their own pace while feeling challenged and supported throughout the learning process.
Traditional classrooms are insufficient or even impossible for many students; rigid schedules, inadequate attention from instructors, and an overwhelming environment can impede your child’s success. Brightmont’s personalized instruction helps students progress toward their goals and gain the self-confidence necessary to fuel a lifelong love of learning.
We offer a range of programs throughout the year to serve the diverse needs of families in Plymouth, including full-time school, individual courses, tutoring, and skill-building programs. We also offer open enrollment and rolling admissions, so your child can start right away.
When you join the Brightmont family, we’ll work with you and your child to design the most effective, personalized instructional plan possible and select experienced teachers who understand your child’s academic needs and learning style.

Brightmont Academy was named a finalist in Plymouth Magazine’s Best of Plymouth picks of 2022. We thank our community for their continued support!

Our Plymouth campus welcomes students with a wide variety of interests, abilities, learning goals, and scheduling needs. This includes:
Many of Brightmont’s students have an ADHD diagnosis and struggle to maintain their focus and engagement in other schools. Brightmont’s flexible one-to-one classrooms naturally minimize distractions and allow students to take breaks throughout the day to support their attention. Our personalized learning model and multisensory curriculum encourage these students to engage deeply without the fear of judgment from their peers.
Brightmont also offers executive functioning programs for grades 3–12, which provide coaching to help students learn to plan, complete, and turn in assignments in ways that work best for them.
Students with learning differences often struggle to find a school that offers the accommodations they need to succeed. Brightmont’s one-to-one model enables teachers to modify their instructional methods, pacing, and curriculum to match the learning styles of students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences.
Traditional classrooms impede gifted and twice-exceptional students’ progress by forcing them to wait for peers to catch up, leading to boredom and burnout. Brightmont’s personalized instruction empowers students to move at their own pace and dive deeper into complex questions without worrying about peer judgment.
Large classrooms bring social pressures, rigidity, and an overstimulating atmosphere that only exacerbate the struggles that students with anxiety, depression, school refusal, or obsessive-compulsive disorder face. Brightmont will work with your family to create an accessible classroom environment that promotes learning while supporting your child’s emotional and social well-being.
Aspiring elite athletes, actors, and musicians shouldn’t have to choose between their passion and a quality education. With Brightmont’s NCAA-approved curriculum, you won’t have to compromise. Our flexible one-to-one model allows students to create a schedule around their extracurricular commitments, so they can further their academic progress without worrying about falling behind.

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

At Brightmont, your child will receive the specialized attention that isn’t possible anywhere else while still having plenty of opportunities to socialize with their peers. Plymouth students and staff also participate in monthly community service projects that build bonds between students and uplift those in need.
Some of our students’ other favorite community-building activities include:
Our private school in Plymouth offers full-time, part-time, and tutoring options for students across every grade level.
Brightmont’s offerings for elementary school students start with our Kindergarten readiness program, which helps Pre-K and Kindergarten students develop their reading, math, and handwriting skills. Our full-time private school starts in first grade. Brightmont’s multisensory, personalized curriculum gives young students the head start they need to build a strong academic foundation and cultivate a love for learning that will follow them throughout their educational journey.
Middle school is often when students start facing social pressures that can impact their academic progress. Brightmont’s supportive, one-to-one learning classrooms help these students maintain their engagement in school without the distractions of their peers. Outside of class, students can connect through clubs, extracurriculars, and community events.
Brightmont’s high school students benefit from the rigor and flexibility of our academic offerings. Our fully accredited private school has an Index for Education Quality (IEQ) score of 320, in comparison to the average of 253.
Prestigious colleges around the country are eager to admit Brightmont students; in fact, 92% of graduates receive admission to their top-choice university! Our Honors, Advanced Placement, and college-level courses provide driven students with the opportunities they need to thrive.
Full-time high school students also have access to the Homework Studio, a supervised study lab designed to help them complete assignments, practice good study habits, connect with peers, and build executive function skills with the support of a teacher-on-call.
