Students are more engaged with Brightmont teachers because the one-to-one environment is focused entirely on their own learning. They are more comfortable asking questions or offering thoughts in the one-to-one classroom.

"I can't say enough how fantastic Brightmont Academy has been for my son. The teachers have built great rapport, and have been able to speed up when his mind is devouring the information, and slow down when a gap is discovered or new material is proving to be challenging. In a very short time, my son has started to redefine his previous failures in school, and is now finally enjoying his learning experience and feels more hopeful about his future!"
