Part-Time Bus Monitor

Mind. Body. Spirit.

At Brillante Academy, we believe:

Every child possesses inherent dignity & infinite potential.

Parents are the first educators.

Learning and excelling in two languages (English and Spanish) builds bridges, opens doors, and strengthens minds.

Truth, Goodness, and Beauty cultivate the mind, body, and spirit of every child.

Brillante Academy Public Charter School opened its doors in August 2023. In our fourth year, we will have Pre-K3 through 4th grade and will serve over 530 students from the Rio Grande Valley in the Mission area and surrounding communities in its first year. We will continue to grow one grade-level a year until 8th grade. Over the next decade, we plan to expand our network across the state of Texas to serve over 7,000 students.

Why Brillante?

Brillante Academy is a two-way, dual language school that aims to empower our scholars and community through an innovative approach that combines personalized blended learning and co-teaching with a classical approach to education. We focus on teaching the whole child, instilling a deep sense of character through our core values (courage, justice, wisdom, and self-control) while setting a high bar for academic achievement and teaching a content-rich curriculum that has stood the test of time. All in service of preparing our scholars for excellence in high school, college and beyond. Our scholars acquire and master English and Spanish to become bilingual and biliterate citizens who will leave a lasting positive impact on their community as problem solvers, advocates, and contributors. Brillante's commitment to holistic child development is paralleled with its commitment to creating a joyful community for families and staff.

Team members of Brillante will play an instrumental leadership role in bringing our vision to life and grow their impact while contributing to building our school from the ground up. Join us!
