We started with a very personalized 1:1 schooling which was exactly what my daughter needed. As she built confidence we shifted to the 1:10 General Education track to go for an accredited high-school diploma. The whole process has been very smoothly and the administration as well as teachers have guided us every step of the way. More importantly my daughter is engaged with this truly thoughtful curriculum, she is excited to learn every day, she's connective with her classmates and building her confidence.

Discovery Call Needs Work - Revised

Initial call didn't go very well but received almost an immediate response from their supervisor to set up a follow up to understand why it didn't go well. He was kind and very responsive. Able to provide all the details I was looking for. Changing my review based on this information and excited to explore this as an option for my child.

Great school

Brilliant Microschools was a perfect solution for my child who needed to decompress from being in a private catholic school and struggling with bullying, adhd and the format of extensive homework. She was able to excel in Brilliant Microschools and had a great teacher (Ms. Dana) for 7th grade. This year, my daughter is ready to try in person school again and better prepared mentally and academically for the challenge.

Great tutoring with definite results

My three kids all have had one tutor for the last few years. Two of them will continue with tutoring and the other feels he would like to try it without for a bit. Can’t say enough about how amazing the tutoring is here and you most definitely see results. They all miss Mathew!

Too pushy to enroll

I was going to consider enrolling my son into this school however when I had the initial call I was rushed off the phone and seem like the person only wanted to tell me prices which I thought was extremely expensive. Then I was immediately scheduled for a zoom call and was 5 mins late and he canceled seem too pushy I didn’t have a chance to think if I wanted to move forward with a zoom call. Think first before deciding on this school with your kiddo too pushy for me for the price it’s No for me

Reply from Brilliant Microschools

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Many parents who reach out to us spend time exploring our website, reading about our approach, and then join a scheduled call ready to have a thoughtful conversation. This allows us to go over the process in full, answer questions in depth, and help them decide if we are the right fit.

August is an especially busy time, and to serve everyone fairly we keep our process consistent—scheduling calls in the order inquiries are received and giving each family uninterrupted time to learn about the program. When a parent bypasses that process by making repeated calls, cutting conversations short, or expecting us to adapt to a piecemeal approach, it disrupts other families’ opportunities and makes it harder to give anyone the thoughtful attention they deserve.

Our admissions process is deliberately two-way. Families are certainly evaluating whether our school would be a good fit for their child, and we are assessing whether the partnership will give a student the best possible chance to thrive. If it becomes clear that the parent’s approach would make that partnership difficult, we would rather not proceed than accept tuition for a program that would not serve the student well. It is not out of arrogance, but solely for this reason, that we may choose not to extend admission in certain cases.

Our tuition reflects the fact that all of our teachers are certified, experienced, and dedicated to working with students who learn in different ways. We keep our administrative overhead small so that resources go where they matter most—into the classroom experience and the quality of instruction. We’ve also introduced a more affordable education plan with fewer live hours for families who prefer a more hands-on role in their child’s daily learning.

We take every inquiry seriously, and we know the right school choice matters deeply. Even when we are not the right fit, we respect the commitment behind the search and wish every family success in finding the environment where their child will thrive.

We've been impressed by the caliber of teaching at Brilliant Microschools.

We've been impressed by the caliber of teaching at Brilliant Microschools. Our daughter is deeply supported and every interaction speaks to care and reflects expertise. Her teacher observes, adapts and elevates her students with calm authority. We've experienced a few schools over the years to find a good fit for my daughter's learning differences. This is the first that feels truly built for personalization without sacrificing community. And my daughter is flourishing, she feels both understood and stretched without being overwhelmed.

Brilliant Microschools really helped my son in pre-Algebra in eighth grade. He went from an F to a B in one semester. His tutor was encouraging, patient and positive. They really made a difference with his self-esteem as well. I highly recommend them.

The place kids are understood

My daughter has been with BMS for more than year now. My daughter could not continue in regular schools. Due to the heavy anxiety she developed after Covid. She had difficult time in school. Nobody understood her, not even teachers. School was bad place for her. She still struggle with experience she had with kids and teacher in the regular school. I switched her to BMS. Learning itself is very slow paced and hope it’s more. But I understand there’s reasons why. Teacher is very kind and most of all, she feels understood and accepted. That’s what she needed for the transition. Admin communication is wonderful. They are efficient and responsive to our concerns. Considering many of students had reason to switch to BMS, and seeing her classmates accepting and interacting with each other. BMS built kind and safe place I can appreciate as I remember the sickening feeling I had having my daughter in regular school worried how she went through the day. If you feel that your kid needs more progress in learning itself, you can combine extra program matching your kid. BMS classes time frame is not too long that it provides the space for you to do that.

From Start to finish they were with me along the way in making the transition for my son . The teachers he has had has been magnificent and are very good at what they do . The teachers care about the children and want them to learn . The learning apps that are used are excellent as well . Would definitely refer to other parents .

Excellent school for neurodivergent kiddos

Our child was struggling in public school, and there are very few options out there for neurodivergent kiddos. We came across this school by happenstance and have been very pleased. We always feel heard and supported by BMS. When it’s not a good fit in a class, they help you find one that works. My kid no longer breaks down when we talk about school and is truly learning. That’s a win in my book!

Since my daughter started BMS last year I have noticed an improvement in her verbal skills and responsibility. Of course, not perfect, and I am ok with that. Her teachers have made a very positive impact on her education and accountability in a way no other school can (or will). I recommend Brilliant Microschool to everyone I come in contact with as a positive and caring learning environment.
