This school has been a blessing!

This school has been a blessing to my son's self esteem after coming from daily bullying in a public school setting. His teacher Mrs Benjamin (previously Holland) is an outstanding teacher with dedication and commitment to her students both in class and out of class. She really cares about my son and his success. Their curriculum is fun for kids needing accommodations and yet still structured to keep their attention and interest. Our son loves to go to class and always shares the things he learns. Anyone with a special needs child that needs a little push and motivation to learn, please try Brilliant Microschools. You won't regret it.

I wasn't sure how online school would go. But my son feels calm here. No more stress, no trying to fit it. Just steady progress and teachers who care. He's making friends and showing me his work after class.

Teachers are amazing

Teachers are amazing - professional, responsive and genuinely invested in my son's growth. It has changed how he feels about school and learning in general. He is excited to read and write again and looks forward to class every day. It's the kind of education I wish I had growing up.

Brilliant Microschools has been an incredible experience for our family. The teachers are the heart of all of it, warm deeply committed, and remarkably skilled at understanding each child's needs. They balance structure with care, adapting lessons to spark curiosity and confidence. The whole experience feels personal, like education should be.

Everyone at Brilliant is very helpful and responsive. My son did well with the small class size and mixture of teacher/technology learning. We did have to stay on top of him "being present" while online, but his teacher would make us aware if he was abusing his ability to turn off his camera. I would say the one thing that I, as a parent, didn't like is that I often was unsure of the material he was covering. Maybe a curriculm could've been sent out at the beginning of the semester. Just a thought.
We will definitely recommend BMS to anyone looking for an alternate learning method.

Great Alternative Option

My son struggled going to school in-person, so we looked for an online option. We were very happy with Brilliant Microschools. My son never struggled to be online and his teachers always offered support.

Cultivate!

We've been part of the Brilliant crew since 2024, and the experience has been truly transformative.

What sets Brilliant apart is its greater focus on student-led learning and individualized curricula, allowing our child to thrive academically and emotionally. The small class sizes mean students receive more mentorship and personal attention, creating a supportive environment where they are genuinely seen and heard.

We also value the flexibility and innovation built into the program. The learning model emphasizes real-world skills, collaboration, and creativity, rather than teaching to a test. As parents, we appreciate the high level of involvement and transparency, which makes us feel like true partners in our child’s education.

For families seeking an alternative to traditional schools—especially for kids with unique learning styles, social needs, or who simply need a different pace—Brilliant is an excellent option.

BMS truly lives up to their promise

BMS truly lives up to their promise. We LOVE the school! The teachers and staff are very respectful to the students and while maintaining accountability. They truly focus on each child’s strengths and show them how to leverage their strengths to build other strengths. Mostly, I am often amazed as to how they convert lessons into real world scenarios. My son looks forward to the performance tasks and so do I as I know he is building skills he can use today and when he is 50. THIS is an ideal learning journey. The kids are not pitted against each other. Instead, each is on their own runway competing against his/her last performance. THANK YOU! For establishing this learning experience. I hope to see additions to the curriculum and in-person collaboration options in the future.

How brilliant microschool saved my son

We started our journey with brilliant microschools three years ago. My son had given up completely on school and learning.. due to his previous experience with public schools and Home schools he had come to the conclusion that his brain was broken, and he would never be able to learn- since joining brilliant microschools, he has become an A/B student, he loves learning, he attends his classes with enthusiasm and excitement. He has goals for his future and knows that he can accomplish anything and learn anything and it is all thanks to this school. I cannot express the gratitude that I have for the teachers and staff. They have changed my son's life.

Recommend highly

This is the first school program that my fifth grader with learning differences has been engaged in. It did not dramatically make him love school (not a possibility for my guy) but he has grown to feel like he belongs in the classroom and it has helped his well being tremendously. I would recommend this program for any parents looking for a safe and dynamic learning environment that matches a kid who can thrive in an online school.
