ABOUT US : Our Vision and Mission

Brilliant Star has an ambitious long-range vision. Our goal is to not only become a truly world-class school, but to become a model for educational excellence, character training, and family partnership. Students at Brilliant Star have the opportunity to participate in an internationally renowned curriculum.

Based on the unique character of the school and its internationally renowned curriculum, enrollment has steadily grown and plans are already being made to extend the school through the elementary grades. To ensure the educational leadership needed to realize these dreams, the school is dedicated to the pedagogical approach defined by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), a widely recognized and respected organization that certifies schools and teachers worldwide.

Brilliant Star's goal is to give its students an education that will prepare them to succeed both in future academic institutions and in life. Brilliant Star emphasizes hands-on discovery-based learning. The program provides an exceptional standard of excellence, where students are challenged to compete against themselves, rather than each other.

At Brilliant Star there is a commitment to a close partnership between home and school, to academic accountability, and to an innovative program that leads students to develop extraordinary levels of personal responsibility, independence, and self-confidence.

Our Vision Statement

The activities of any school take place in an environment that is imbued with a particular vision of the world, the family, the child, the parent, the teacher, and the role of education. Our vision emphasizes that the ultimate goal of education is not only the advancement of the individual, but more importantly the betterment of humanity. Brilliant Star is animated by the vision that:
Universal peace and unity is the inevitable goal towards which we strive.

The Family is the bedrock of human society. The peace and unity of society is dependent upon the peace and unity of the family.

The Child is the promise and guarantee of the future. Children bear the seeds of the character of future society and are in need of guidance and training.

The Parent is the primary educator of the child. Parents exercise indispensable influence through the home environment they consciously create.

The Teacher is a model and a guide. The role of the teacher is to bring forth from the child whatever perfections and capacities are within, assisting the child to reach their highest level of achievement.

Education is the indispensable foundation of all human excellence. Education is crucial to the realization of true human potential and to enable the individual to render service to the world of humanity.

The mission of Brilliant Star is to provide an environment that will help children develop four key qualities:

Global understanding. We recognize that the world of the 21st century is one of increasing interdependence among peoples and nations of the world. Our children will be comfortable as "world citizens", with a global perspective and understanding of issues. They will be free from prejudices of race, national origin, ethnicity, language, economic status and religion. They will recognize the equality of the sexes, and will celebrate the diversity of the world's peoples and cultures. Our children will be promoters of unity.
Service to humanity. We recognize that meaning and happiness come from selfless service to others. Our children will strive to find ways to serve others – their families, their communities, and humanity as a whole.
Exemplary Character. We recognize that ultimately, the strength of one's character is the essence of one's self. Character is that set of virtues that are developed in an individual. Our children will develop, foremost amongst their virtues, truthfulness, trustworthiness, kindness, courtesy, compassion, confidence, joyfulness and humility. They will be emotionally and spiritually balanced individuals.
Creative minds. The creative mind is one that can bring knowledge to bear on new situations and challenges. To this end, our children will be well versed in the branches of knowledge, with emphasis on mathematics, literature, science, history and arts. They will learn to independently investigate reality, to seek intelligently, to discover things for themselves, and to depend upon their own reason and judgment. They will practice applying this body of knowledge and this set of skills to the challenges around them, and to use their minds to become agents of meaningful change in their communities.
