Brilliant Academy

In Brilliant Academy, where dreams take flight
Stands a beacon of knowledge, shining so bright.
A place of inspiration, a haven for all,
This is the story of my school standing tall.
Within its walls, echoes of laughter resound,
As curious minds in discovery are bound.
Teachers like guides, nurture each tender soul,
Guiding, helping them reach their goals.

The cornerstone of country's education,
Where creativity thrive and find its start.
Where teachers lead in quality teaching,
Unleashing talents, fostering a lifelong impression.
In classrooms, curiosity blows and grows
As mines are awakened, knowledge bestows.
From math to science, literature to history,

Brilliant Academy, a treasure trove of written dreams,
Where imagination soar on silent streams.
Books with far secrets, tales of the past,
A good school and embraces diversity embrace
Celebrating differences, with love and grace.

Where Students are trained to be policymakers

Just from unknown place comes the great school

With gratitude and pride, our hearts yearning,
For Brilliant Academy, like a guiding star,
