School Reviews
5 4/4/2013
This program is absolutely amazing. My son is now very confident about his academic abilities and will be going back to Chaparral High School. He just took the SAT and received a score that qualifies him for Barrett Honors College. Because of this program he is thriving.

My son came to this school in November 2011 and had his whole junior year and several classes from his sophomore & freshman year to complete. He had a 1.3 GPA at the time. It is now June 1st and my son is almost done with all of his credits and he is averaging a B+. I am very happy that I brought him to Brightmont Academy and I feel the one on one instruction helped give him the confidence to go back to high school to get his degree and onto college. I have also noticed that he has matured considerably since going here.
