Accredited Virtual Classrooms for
Your School's Outplacement Needs

Brilliant Microschools offers full-time accredited schooling designed to replace traditional brick-and-mortar schools.

Our General Education Program runs 5 days/week with 3hrs hours of live instruction in math, English, social studies, and science, plus 1hr of tailored independent study daily. Students also take 2-4hrs of electives each week. This program serves students with zero to moderate learning differences and leads to an accredited high school diploma.

Our Special Education Program runs 4 days/week with 2hrs of live instruction in small, therapeutic groups. Lessons are customized to each student’s plan, building academic skills, self-regulation, and life skills for students with higher needs and disabilities.

Our Guided Study Program also runs 4 days/week with 2hrs of live instruction each day. It is designed for students who can take on more personal responsibility, and/or for parents who want to be more involved in the learning process. Students attend live core classes, complete app-based assignments on their own schedule, and spend about 2hrs/day on guided independent work. The program leads to an accredited high school diploma upon successful completion of all coursework.

All programs feature small class sizes (6–10 students) and personalized instruction.

We employ certified teachers who undergo a rigorous vetting process. This includes a comprehensive background and reference check, followed by a full month of onboarding and training. This ensures that all educators are well-prepared to provide personalized instruction and support to students with diverse learning differences, such as Dyslexia, ASD, ADD/ADHD, and Anxiety.

For our General Education program you'll have the option to open either a morning (10am EST) or an afternoon class (1.30pm EST).

As for our Special Education program you'll have the option to open a morning (10am EST), a midday (12.30pm EST) or an afternoon class (3pm EST).

A microschool is a small, personalized educational setting that offers a tailored learning experience with a low student-to-teacher ratio. This model emphasizes individualized attention, flexible curriculum, and a close-knit community, making it suitable for students who may not thrive in traditional larger school environments.

Brilliant Microschools starts at the kindergarten level and serve students through high school.

Students do not need to be diagnosed with a disability to enroll. The school serves both general education students and those with special educational needs, providing tailored support to help all students succeed.

The curriculum is standards-aligned, focusing on both academic and life skills. All our teachers are certified who are experienced in providing individualized instruction and trained to support students with various learning differences, such as Dyslexia, ASD, ADD/ADHD, and Anxiety.

We are a mastery based school.
This means the students would have the option to continue being enrolled with us until they can demonstrate mastery of HS level math, English, social studies and science... at which time they would receive a fully accredited, nationally recognized HS diploma.
The essence of a mastery based school program is that we allow students to mature, master subjects & graduate at their own pace.

That said, the student wouldn't get a high school diploma until they can demonstrate mastery.

Otherwise they could opt for an ESE classroom and go for a Certificate of Completion (as opposed to HS diploma).

We are fully accredited by WASC nationwide. Our transcripts and HS diploma are accepted by schools and colleges across all states.

While we do not follow the core curriculum (nor any mandates as we are a private school), we do hit all standards required for graduation using our own internally designed curriculum and instructional methods.

Please go ahead and inquire on our website, and we'll reach out in a few hours. We'll answer each family questions over a short informal phone chat. We'll then schedule a Zoom consultation to go through our program in more detail and present our teachers. Finally, each family will get to meet their teacher before making a final decision.

By inquiring through our website, we're able to serve all families on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We launch in days, not months. Once we receive your roster, each student attends a Student Onboarding Meeting (SOM) to get set up with tech, tools, and their teacher. Parents or guardians join a Parent Onboarding Meeting (POM) to ensure communication and support are in place.

Brilliant Microschools’ curriculum covers Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies, taught in interdisciplinary units over two-week cycles focusing on the 3 Es—Engage, Explore, and Elaborate. This approach drives engagement and reduces cognitive load by integrating subjects into real-world applications.

Students follow the bi-weekly cycle as follows:

• Engage: Via an audiovisual introductory prompt followed by a notice & wonder protocol.
• Explore: Through explore boards offering diverse, differentiated activities that cater to various learning styles.
• Elaborate: With performance tasks that synthesize learning into tangible projects and presentations.

Our curriculum uses the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and includes differentiated tasks, scaffolds, as well as a diverse set of eduprotocols to ensure accessibility for all students.
Math is taught separately but follows the same cycle structure.

Our program is apolitical and secular, emphasizing real-world applications and reducing cognitive load. Progress is tracked through weekly formative evaluations and performance tasks. Adaptive learning software and MAP Growth assessments are used to validate student growth.

Yes. You can enroll students at any point in the year, including for temporary placements or until your district’s in-house capacity is ready. Students can move in and out of classrooms as needs change.

We track academic growth via MAP Growth, course performance, and individualized progress notes and portfolios—available to district teams and families.

Turnkey delivery: Brilow adaptive curriculum, curated edtech tools, certified teachers, onboarding (SOM/POM), MAP Growth assessments, weekly progress notes, and transcripts—fully aligned with district and state requirements.
