Member Spotlight: Brightmont Academy – Phoenix Campus

Where One-to-One Learning Transforms Lives

Brightmont Academy has spent 25 years helping students thrive through a learning model that is anything but traditional. Since 1999, we’ve supported thousands of students nationwide—especially those who struggled in conventional classrooms by providing personalized one-to-one instruction: one teacher with one student, every class, every day. 

In 2024, we opened our fourth Arizona campus in Phoenix, joining Scottsdale, Chandler, and Deer Valley. The Phoenix campus serves families across the Valley, including Avondale, Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Verrado, and Estrella Mountain, with the same individualized support that defines our approach.

Leading our Phoenix campus is Dr. Shari Guerra, a founding Director and veteran Arizona administrator with over 22 years of experience in public, charter, and private school systems. Dr. Guerra has worked across Title I and exceptional student service settings and brings a results-driven, student-centered philosophy to her leadership. Her commitment to honesty, authenticity, and educational equity ensures a safe and empowering space where all students are respected and supported, and school choice is embraced as a viable opportunity. 

Brightmont students come from diverse academic paths—some with learning differences like ADHD or dyslexia, others managing anxiety or depression. Many are gifted learners or require flexibility due to medical needs, athletics, or personal goals. Our calm classroom setting supports barriers of distraction and anxiety, and our year-round rolling enrollment allows students to progress at their own pace and the flexibility to begin anytime. 

By the end of 2026, Brightmont will serve families from 25 campuses across 9 states, but our mission remains personal: help each student rediscover confidence, motivation, and joy in learning. If your child isn’t thriving, visit our Phoenix campus and meet Dr. Guerra.
