Brilliant Microschools Reviews 

Moving our son to this school was the best decision we have ever made. The public school environment is not suitable for all kids, Brilliant Microschools created a community for kids that don't fit into that box. The small class sizes allow the teachers to get to know your kids and their learning style. This is our third year with this school and we have not had one negative experience, they are pretty amazing!

My daughter previously struggled with both the social and academic environment in public school. The transition from grade school to junior high school was exceptionally difficult. She felt rushed, overlooked, and overwhelmed. She now has a smaller class size, a dedicated teacher that gives her the attention she needs to learn and grow, and a shorter school day that allows for her to learn within her short attention span, while she is focused.

Good experience thus far. I like that my daughter can do her thing while I can simultaneously get my work done too while not constantly being interrupted. I like that she can engage with other students too.

Our son finally loves school! The teachers have done an excellent job tailoring their teaching to each child’s needs!

The teachers and administration are absolutely phenomenal. They brought back a love of learning to my child!

We've been very happy with Brilliant Microschools! Our daughter loves her teacher and everything related to the administration has always been smooth and easy. They are particularly responsive to questions and friendly in the way they communicate.

The school has been the best choice for my son who is diagnosed with ADHD. Following years of struggle he is not back to his old self, curious and thriving.

On the day of our video matching session to review available teachers, the individual from admission told us that they were unable to share any teacher videos. They were apologetic and promised to follow up soon so we could get started, but we never heard back. I followed up 10 days later and received no response by text. I finally received an email response stating that all classes are now full and there may not be space until next year’s enrollment cycle (and we’ve been added to a priority waitlist). The lack of follow up after our call expressing interest was disappointing. And we’re still unclear why a call was scheduled for us to view teachers when none were available. I hope our experience was an exception.

Updated - Head of Admissions followed up with me and explained that lower grades have limited spots and that the last one was taken just before our scheduled call. He promised to help set better expectations on the front end moving forward to avoid this scenario with future families. We appreciate the call and explanation and hope to try them again in the future!

Our teacher was enthusiastic, kind and met my student where she was at academically and socially. The curriculum was engaging and interactive. Learning styles were valued and a variety of teaching styles helped my neurodivergent child navigate curriculum and peers.

My son had a really positive experience with BMS. Ms. Kim was a fantastic teacher who really engaged with the kids and connected with them. The curriculum was based on real life situations, which I really appreciated.

Wonderful school, excellent teachers and great people in the administration.
My daughter has been blessed with a warm teacher and very nice classmates.

UPDATE:
Brilliant Microschools got back to us asap! We got everything worked out when an admissions staff member had to suddenly take leave.
We're on the path to our guy's first day of guided school with a teacher he really loves. Thank you, Brilliant!

Hopefully i have an opportunity to change this review...

We've been excited about Brilliant right up until time to pay... we cannot get in touch with these folks reliably, and the "admissions" person seems fairly removed from the school-- like they really dont know much about the school, just want payment.
Im not getti g any invoices; just texts asking for payment. Ugh!!!

My son really struggled to engage in any kind of in-person schooling due to his disabilities. We were burnt out when we arrived and Brilliant Microschools worked tirelessly to accommodate his ever-changing needs and support our family as we learned the best strategies for his learning process. We highly recommend this program for students with challenging learning journeys and unique learning needs. The schooling program is 100% individualized and customized to meet each child's needs and it's such a refreshingly welcoming and nonjudgmental community, too.

We had a great experience with Brilliant Microschools. My son's teacher was great. She was patient and showed concern for the students. I loved the use of learning apps.

Our Family has had a positive experience with BMS. We are truly grateful for the support she received. The teachers were patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in her success. Although we are moving on due to a change in circumstances, we leave with gratitude and respect for the school community. I would confidently recommend this program.

Brilliant Microschools has been a lifesaver for our daughter. Years of bullying ended when we found BMS, bringing successful relief.
The teachers are professional in their approach to each student's learning level.
We have recommended BMS to other parents seeking an alternative to public schooling.

Our son had an incredibly supportive experience. He flourished academically and emotionally in the BMS model.

Brilliant Microschools is an innovative educational platform. The teachers are well qualified and treat the students with respect and patience. I would be happy to recommend BMS to anyone who is interested in such an option for their children.

I was very impressed with the teachers and class sizes. My child felt successful and formed virtual connections with her classmates.
