Director's Comments
We give out 3 report cards a year. and the teachers do monthly evaluations for each child. This helps the teachers foster the childs academic ablity. At the end of each week the teachers send home a news letter to inform the parents of the weeks events. The children also recieve homework that is an extention of what they were taught that week at school. This keeps the parents involved in what the children are learning. In December we also have parent/ teacher conferences.
"Brilliance Academy has a Parent Association that meets regularly to plan events and parent education seminars. Parents are encouraged to participate actively in this association." www.brillianceacademy.com
