What to Expect?

Is Brightspire a good fit for students with IEPs?

At Brightspire, we believe every student deserves an education that works for them. Our flexible, supportive learning environment is designed to meet a wide range of learning needs. While we are not a special education provider, many families with IEP students have found success at Brightspire thanks to our personalized approach, certified teachers, on-demand tutoring, and dedicated mentors.

We understand that each learner is unique. If your student has an IEP, we encourage you to speak with one of our enrollment advisors to see how we can support their individual educational journey.

Can I enroll my student at Brightspire anytime of the year?

Yes! At Brightspire, we offer year-round enrollment so your student can start when the time is right for your family. Whether you're transitioning from a traditional school mid-year or looking for a fresh start, our flexible scheduling allows students to begin their courses at any point during the year. With personalized pacing and continuous support, Brightspire makes it easy to learn on your schedule.

How is the Brightspire program structured, and how long does it take to complete?

Brightspire offers a flexible, student-centered program designed to fit individual learning needs. Full-time students typically take up to six courses per year, but since the program is self-paced, students can move faster or slower depending on their goals and schedule.

Each course is designed to be completed in one academic year, though many students finish sooner. Whether you're enrolling full-time or part-time, Brightspire allows your student to work in a structured yet adaptable environment with the teacher and mentor guidance every step of the way.

How much does it cost?

Brightspire offers accredited, full-time and part-time enrollment for grades 6–12, with tuition starting at just $465 per semester course. Whether you’re looking for a full curriculum or individual courses, Brightspire provides personalized learning and support - without breaking the bank.

Payment plans, scholarships, and discounts make it even more accessible for families across the U.S.
