Some can. K-12 teachers and schools may be eligible for free or discounted classroom access through Brilliant for Educators, which gives teachers and their students Brilliant's interactive Math, Data, Computer Science, and Science courses for classroom use. Apply to check your eligibility.
Brilliant prioritizes classroom teachers at accredited K–12 schools in underserved communities who apply with a school-issued email address. Homeschools, tutors and tutoring centers, colleges and universities, and other organizations can contact us about options for their learners.
Approved teachers get unlimited class creation, progress tracking, Google Classroom integration, and curated courses to assign.
Classroom access vs. a paid Premium subscription
Classroom access and Premium unlock the same courses, but they aren't the same plan. The main difference is Koji, Brilliant's tutor.
| Brilliant for Educators classroom access | Paid Premium subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free or discounted, based on eligibility | Paid by the learner or a parent |
| Full course catalog | Yes | Yes |
| No daily limits, jump to any lesson | Yes | Yes |
| Ad-free on web, iOS, and Android | Yes | Yes |
| Koji, Brilliant's tutor | Not included | Included |
| Who manages it | The student's teacher | The subscriber or parent |
In account settings, classroom access shows as Brilliant For Educators rather than Premium.
For parents: Koji stays off on any account that's part of a Brilliant for Educators class, even if that account also has a paid subscription. Students usually join a class with their school email. To give your child Premium at home, including Koji, subscribe or send a gift using a different, personal email address, so their personal account stays separate from their classroom account.
