“Brightmont gave my daughter
confidence and helped her love learning
again.”
– Parent of 8th grader
Some recent Brightmont reviews....
July 19, 2024
From a parent in Colorado...
I sat in my bathroom and cried this afternoon.
My son came to me and said, “of all the schools I’ve been to, Brightmont is by far the best.”
Before Brightmont, he had been placed in at lest one if not two public schools a year. He was in class only 3 hours a day and I had to frequent the school to intervene when he was too frightened and triggered to remain at school.
I was sitting by myself after he left to play and I don’t really know why...relief...happiness...pride...the big breath you finally take after holding your breath for too long... I cried my heart out.
It’s almost unbelievable that just a few months ago my son was struggling with every aspect of daily life and nowhere more than school. Now, he is working at grade level with straight A’s and his favorite teacher — Math?! He tested at a 5th grade level in November and now he’s starting pre-algebra! Even the mention of math used to set him into a melt down. Now? He’s thriving not just at school but at home and in his relationships. It isn’t perfect, things never are- but in so brief a period of time it seems nothing less than miraculous.
He’s a different kid. A happier, more confident, more together kid than I ever imagined possible when we came to tour in the late fall.
Another parent from a Colorado campus....
My daughter was not thriving in the public school environment. When her middle school experience didn’t work out, we pulled her out after the start of the year and sent her to Brightmont.
My expectations were low, to be honest. I. HAVE. NEVER. BEEN. MORE. WRONG.
My daughter has been there almost 2 years now. Not only has she succeeded, she accelerated through 7th during Covid and is now expected to start HS early.
Carrie is wonderful and hires such amazing teachers; many have been Ph.D level. The connection my daughter has with her teachers has been amazing to witness. They don’t really deal with disciplinary issues, but they know my kid and make sure she stays in line and focused on her work while she’s there. I almost feel bad telling parents how well my child has progressed this year during Covid, knowing so many others struggled. Brightmont has not only been a pleasant suprise, it’s been a blessing.
