School Reviews

We are very pleased with the high school education our son received at Brightmont Academy. The staff (especially Jenny and Valerie) were extremely professional, kind, and helpful. The teachers were qualified and engaging. The one-on-one instruction took social anxiety out of the equation, and our son was able to learn at his own pace in an environment that felt safe and comfortable to him. In addition, he gained the confidence that he had lost during the turmoil of the pandemic. I highly recommend Brightmont as an alternative to public school for kids who are experiencing school avoidance or refusal, or if mental health struggles prevent them from learning to their full potential. My son's favorite class was AP chemistry. We believe that he is well-prepared if he decides to go on to college or any further education.

Our grandson, attended Saint John's Preparatory School, Collegeville, MN. In April, he was invited to study for his senior year in an exchange program at Melk Abbey, in Melk, Austria. He needed geometry in order to graduate in 2015, this class was not the math being offered at Melk. Hence began our very satisfactory involvement with Brightmont. The teachers were excellent, but Julie Ball, Plymouth Director was especially helpful, right from the beginning. She covered all aspects of what would be involved at Brightmont Academy and expectations for our grandson. Together we worked out a schedule that fit both the school's requirements and our needs. We are so pleased with the school in Plymouth, MN, and especially with Julie Ball, the school's Director.
