Perfect for Short-Term Learning Option

We needed a short-term learning option for our son, who has autism and is cognitively advanced. EVERYTHING about BMS was excellent-- the communication (right from the start), the clarity of the programming, the price, and the teachers. We were very happy with the experience, and this is coming from someone with 25 years in the field of educational administration and teaching in the public sector. Our family HIGHLY recommends BMS.

My experience with BMS was extremely poor

My experience with BMS was extremely disappointing. My daughter was enrolled in 5th grade. She got nearly straight A's the entire year. We were told by her teacher she was doing amazing and wished she could have 10 students like my her. My daughter stated to us she was not learning anything and felt like she wasn't being challenged. We spoke with the teacher about this multiple times but were reassured the work would get harder. She completed Spanish 1 with an A yet knows no Spanish. She can't tell me a greeting, a month on the calendar or a day of the week. I had to teach her long division myself. She started at a new school for 6th and after taking her placement test we learned she had to repeat the 5th grade. Upon informing BMS of this, their response was to send me her report cards and say we could have pulled out at any point if we were unsatisfied. They blamed being in a different state and a difference of curriculum. They refused to refund any money and had zero accountability. Beware of this school, I cannot recommend them to anyone based off of our experience.

Reply from Brilliant Microschools

Reese,

We’re sorry that your family’s time with BMS ended in disagreement. We see things differently, and we don’t feel this review reflects the teaching and support your daughter received. Out of respect for her privacy, we won’t discuss her academic records or private correspondence here.

We care deeply about the quality of our teaching and the support we give each student, and we stand by the work of her teachers.

We wish your daughter every success at her new school.

BMS has been amazing for my son

BMS has been amazing for my son, who had some medical issues when he entered the school and was recovering after a major surgery. BMS patiently assisted him in rebuilding his confidence, self-esteem, and skills towards reintegrating and completing his high school diploma. We have had an amazing experience with all the teachers and administrative providers. My son loved the classes,structure,and the patient support and clear communication with parents and student. Thank you so much BMS for all the excellent support and qualiy teaching you've provided to my son.♥️🙂

Flexible and Engaging Online Learning

Brilliant Microschools gave our child an engaging experience in a small class when in-person school was not working out due to medical issues. Our child liked the teachers very much and we appreciated the project-and mastery-based learning approach. BMS was very accommodating of our child attending for just the last few months of the year and designed a custom summer program for credit recovery for two classes. I would recommend it to any parent looking for a live instruction alternative to a brick and mortar school!

My son had a wonderful experience with Brilliant Microschool. The teachers were great at making lessons engaging, fostering a love of learning, and understanding different learning needs. The small class sizes also made a big difference. My son enjoyed school and also participated in clubs and attended field trips. I would recommend BMS!

A great option to public school

We had a student with some significant unique needs, and this school was able to accommodate them very well. We had a great teacher that was able to adapt the lesson plans as well as the content and the administration was always responsive. Definitely recommend!

I have loved the onboarding process with BMS so far. My son is a 2e student, as he is autistic and has ADHD, along with anxiety and depression, and a high IQ. We are so happy to be able to give him an experience that supports his learning needs. He is an advanced learner who struggles with socialization and social cues, but he excels in an online atmosphere.

My daughter was struggling towards the end of her 7th grade school year with focus and behavior issues in public school. Enrolling her in BMS was the smartest decision I could have made. She excelled with the curriculum and was able to concentrate on her learning while having time in her new schedule for activities that dampened behavior issues.

It was a huge relief when my daughter’s anxiety hit mid school year to be able to find a solution to enroll her in that made her feel comfortable and brought her out of public school. I have witnessed her grow so much in the short time she was enrolled. Her teacher was fantastic and so patient.

Joining BMS was the best decision

Joining BMS was the best decision we made for our teen daughter who struggled with anxiety, heavy academic load in public school, harsh treatment of teachers, unexperienced in working with neurodiverse students. The staff of BMS is very responsive, accommodating and empathic. My daughter was paired with very competent, friendly and approachable teachers who recognized her special needs. Her teachers were able to rekindle her love of learning and foster enthusiasm for academic growth. Overall our family is very impressed with all aspects of BMS and would recommend it to anyone!

Brilliant Microschools was a great option for my son, who has ADHD and social difficulties. He used the tutoring sessions and had a wonderful teacher who understood how to work with him. She was able to tailor his lesson difficulties and he’s now doing math 2 grades levels up!

Miss Kat was amazing

Miss Kat was amazing! She helped my daughter so much with all of the encouragement and help she gave her. She always makes it fun for the students. Such an exceptional person and teacher. Mis Kat always made it a point to communicate with me a couple times a week. The only issue my daughter had was the substitutes not explaining things thoroughly.
