February 26, 2026
Fifth Arizona Campus Marks Continued Expansion
Tempe, AZ – Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school specializing in one-to-one instruction, will open a new campus in Tempe, Arizona, marking its fifth location in the state and 24th nationwide. The school will celebrate with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening on Tuesday, March 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Brightmont Academy offers a flexible, customized learning alternative to traditional schools for students in grades 1-12. One experienced teacher works with one student throughout every learning session, allowing for fully personalized instruction. Families may choose from three enrollment options: full-time programs leading to a Brightmont Academy diploma, individual courses for credit, or intensive tutoring support.
Students may enroll at any time during the year, as Brightmont operates year-round with customized scheduling designed to help families balance academic and personal priorities.
“Opening our fifth Arizona campus in Tempe reflects the trust families have placed in Brightmont Academy,” said Karen Buckner, CEO of Brightmont Academy. “We’ve seen tremendous success across the state, and demand for personalized, one-to-one instruction continues to grow. Families are seeking flexibility, individualized support, and a learning environment where students are truly known—and Arizona has embraced that model wholeheartedly.”
Brightmont Academy serves a wide range of learners, including students who need additional academic support, those looking to accelerate their studies, and students whose needs are not met in traditional school environments. The school’s supportive setting helps students build confidence while achieving academic success.
“Arizona has been an incredible success story for Brightmont Academy,” Buckner added. “From students regaining confidence after struggling in traditional classrooms to gifted learners advancing beyond grade level, we’ve witnessed transformational growth across our campuses. Expanding to Tempe allows us to serve even more families in the East Valley who are seeking a more personalized approach to education.”
The new campus location is at 1095 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Suite 106, and is currently accepting enrollments. Our grand opening event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. and personalized tours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
