Our students absolutely love A Brilliant Life. It is our most popular after school program at the Ron Clark Academy, and our students greatly enjoy the activities that teach them more about themselves through creative and engaging activities. The program is definitely fun, but it also builds the self-esteem of our students and empowers them to become more successful in school and throughout their lives.

A Brilliant Life is just that…brilliant! . . . A Brilliant Life focuses on the individual and lets them know that if they can dream it, they can achieve it. I only wish that every young person could experience such an incredible personal journey through this program.
Haley Kilpatrick, Girl Talk Founder & Executive Director

The program answer practical life questions, Who am I? And What was I created for? . . . Each year, the upcoming students’ most harmonious question is, “When does A Brilliant Life come back?”
I’m trilled to tell them every time, “Soon.”

You spend your life helping children decide how to live their future. You show them how to overcome the toughest obstacles and to hold their head high and look on to a brighter future.

The Guide to a Brilliant Life was a wonderful program that engaged the kids each session with a variety of interactive activities. The program encouraged the kids to critically think about the past, present and future and left them with a positive approach to the future.-Shawna Moss, LMSW

I like how we discovered our gifts. The most important thing I learned was that you should achieve your goals.- Demonte, age 15

My favorite thing about the Brilliant Life class was learning that I can find the path God is trying to lead me in. The most important thing I learned was no matter what event you have thrown at you, you can still be who you want to be.- Datesha, age 13

I learned never to let anyone bring you down or tell you what you can and can’t be because God will lead you down the right path.- Rachel, age 13
