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.

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!

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

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.

My child has been working with Brilliant Grades for a while now and she is happy with them. She loves all her teachers, and she is doing well in school. The company updates us on any changes and are always available to help when needed. Thanks and keep up the good work.

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.

Very attentive to my son. He is diagnosed with Mild Autism and we wanted more interaction from a Teacher. It was great to see him laugh and talk to her as he completed his academic assignments.

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.
