Brightmont Academy Guides Students to Graduation and Beyond
Private School in Northfield Specializing in One-to-One Instruction for 1st-12th Grade Students
Northfield, IL – Brightmont Academy, a nationally accredited private school known for its one-to-one instructional model, continues to be a beacon of hope for students who face significant educational challenges. The Northfield campus, under the leadership of Campus Director Karen Buckner, has played a pivotal role in helping students who were on the verge of giving up on their education to cross the finish line and graduate.
Karen Buckner speaks passionately about the profound impact Brightmont has had on its students: "Several students here in Northfield had dropped out of their high schools, and we were their last resort to finish their high school education. It was either going to work at Brightmont or they would not graduate at all. That is what we are all about—helping kids get to the finish line."
Brightmont’s personalized and rigorous approach has been a game-changer for these students, offering them not just an education but a second chance at success. One student, who had already cycled through four other schools, arrived at Brightmont a year and a half behind his peers, struggling emotionally and academically due to the disruptions of COVID-19. "He walked in a year and a half behind his peers, and through a lot of work, he graduated three months before his peers and was accepted to 15 different colleges to continue his education," Buckner recounted, underscoring the transformative power of Brightmont’s tailored support.
Another student started at Brightmont with just 1.5 credits 2.5 years ago. Despite facing relentless challenges, including the balancing act of work and school, she found a steadfast support system in Brightmont. "We rode a lot of roller coasters with her, and she said multiple times that she was done with school. We were her support and cheerleaders, holding her accountable. But the day we were able to say congratulations at her graduation, I’m not sure who had the bigger smile—her or her teachers," Buckner reflected.
