Curriculum and Assessment

Experience our High-Quality Online Curriculum

We offer a mastery-based curriculum aligned with national CCSS standards, combining adaptive learning, direct instruction, group work, and projects with a strong emphasis on reading and writing.

Watch us Fill Your Learning Gaps

We'll identify and fill any learning gaps your student may have, potentially resulting in progress beyond one academic grade level in a year. 

Understand the Purpose of our Assessments

At Brilliant Microschool, assessments should inform instruction, gauge student understanding, and guide pedagogical modifications. We focus on formative rather than summative assessment (i.e., we prioritize low-stakes feedback provided in the early and middle stages of learning over high-stakes exam scores arriving at the end).

Read our Mastery-based Report Cards

We recognize the need for quantitative data, such as for college applications. Therefore, we provide both qualitative and quantitative information in our report cards, including power standards assessment, teacher comments, and letter grades.

Enjoy Our Frequent Updates

Although report cards are issued three times per year, they are living documents reflecting each student's current performance. Feel free to contact your teacher for updates at any time during the term.
