Who Are Brightmont’s Students?
Brightmont’s campus in St. Charles supports students with diverse learning needs, schedules, and academic interests. Our private school welcomes:
Students with ADHD and Attention Deficits
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
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.
Gifted and 2E Students
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.
Students with Mental Health Challenges
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.
Student Athletes and Performers
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.
