Brilliant Microschools Arvostelua 

Amazing! We love Brilliant Microschools!

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.

My daughter's in middle school at BMS, and her teachers are more than I'd wished for. They see her, challenge her, and show up with real care every day.

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.

Thanks to BMS my son loves school and learning again.

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 .

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.

BMS has reignited my child’s joy for learning and made school interesting again.

My son has changed a great deal with BMS. My son was in a public school and he feels much more comfortable because he can pace himself.

The school has changed my son’s outlook of learning… My son is on the autism spectrum and has slight learning difficulties, the school has been a game changer. He now enjoys attending school!!! This is my son‘s second year.

My child hated going to public school because he was behind his peers in reading. Now with BMS he is right where he needs to be and his confidence has shot through the roof. He now loves school and believes he can achieve anything!

When my son was not thriving at our local middle school, we found BMS. Since enrolling I have seen my son happier, excited for class each day, and able to complete his work independently. I plan to stay with BMS all through high school for my son. The staff and his teacher are so helpful and I feel very supported.

Extremely disappointed with their billing department. They charged me for one lesson that was cancelled with plenty of time in advance, and they refuse to reimburse my bank account. I have been reaching out to them for almost a year now and I still don’t have my refund. They keep telling me “they are going to look into it” over and over again.
Have lost track of how many follow up emails I have sent them.
Needless to say I will never do business with them again.

I absolutely love this school!They have worked with me to accommodate my grandson that has anxiety &autism.They are always responsive,highly recommend.

This school sucks. My child isn't learning anything. They claim in the interview your kid will be 2 grades above grade level by the time they're done. LOL. This school should be free, or at least half the price for what they offer. The classes need to be much smaller because helping each kid takes so much time out of the day, and there's only 2-3 hours of school as is. My kid has had to change teachers several times because they are so mediocre, and/or don't know how to run a classroom. Lots of time wasted and rushing not learning anything. Not recommended.

This is a perfect way to homeschool your kiddos and still give them the ability to connect to other kids. Love the curriculum and the teachers here!

We love the one on one tutors! My son who is on the spectrum has been engaging wonderfully with his tutor for language arts through the video class. His tutor keeps it very engaging for him and he is doing great! I have definitely seen progress. He is enjoying his language arts class time with his tutor and learning at the same time.

This school claimed to be able to work with special needs students, ADHD, dyslexia, executive function disorder, etc. It claimed to have small class sizes. However, my son is a high school student who has experienced a lot of bullying, has ADHD and executive function disorder, among other things. Navigating everything at his age has been incredibly difficult for him. We were clear about his challenges when we were going through the enrollment process and they said they could work with him. However, I have found that they overall expected him to perform like a neurotypical student, with little accommodation or consideration given to his special needs.

The first semester was good. My son took well to the transition and enjoyed online homeschool. He started to finally feel safe and was able to learn. The class size was maybe about 15, not 10-12 as promised.

The second semester was horrible. Even larger class size. I’d see maybe 18-20 kids on camera. My son had a few issues where his impulsiveness and executive function disorder caused him to make some mistakes when messaging friends outside of class time.

After an incident in November, they told us he couldn’t log into his online class until they decided his punishment. He missed 5 days of school while they decided. 5 days. He missed more class while they decided what his punishment for the infraction would be then his punishment would have lasted in other schools.

They sent me an email with their decision with a punishment that seemed way to harsh. Weeks of more missed class while he went through their remediation process, for which they were going to charge us more money. It didn’t make sense so we requested a call.

The main administrator promised to call us, was 30 minutes late, then only talked to us for 5 minutes, giving very poor answers to our questions before she had to take a “very important call” and hung up. That was the last we heard from anyone at the school.

We asked for my son’s transcripts a month ago and still they have not provided them, they say the request is being processed under their standard process and timelines, if that tells you anything about how they operate.

Oh and this review has been edited to add that they also contacted me about this review and said that they would sue for defamation and/ or include sensitive information in their reply if I didn’t remove it.

It’s now been over 2 months since my son attended classes. I have asked repeatedly for his transcripts so I can get him in the right classes in his new school. They still have not finished them.

If your student has no issues, great. Should you actually need assistance, don’t expect to receive it.
