Is Brilliant accredited?

Yes. Brilliant is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC) as a supplemental education product.

What is ACS WASC accreditation?

ACS WASC is a recognized accrediting body for schools and educational programs in the western United States and internationally. Its accreditation process evaluates whether an educational program meets established standards for quality, rigor, and learning outcomes.

Brilliant's accreditation as a supplemental education product is an independent recognition that our curriculum design and instructional approach meet those standards — distinct from the typical accreditation granted to schools or degree-granting institutions.

What this means for learners

WASC accreditation is a signal of educational quality. It reflects that Brilliant's content, instructional design, and learning outcomes have been reviewed and validated by an independent body.

It's worth clarifying what supplemental accreditation does not include: Brilliant is not an accredited degree-granting institution and does not award course credits, academic degrees, or professional certifications. If you're looking for transferable credentials, see Does Brilliant offer certificates?

What this means for schools and educators

For teachers and school administrators, WASC accreditation provides assurance that Brilliant meets recognized educational standards — which is relevant when recommending or adopting Brilliant as a classroom supplement.
