Mindstream, LLC on the Cutting Edge
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 11, 2010 — Veteran education entrepreneur Mark F. Thimmig, CEO and Chairman of Mindstream, LLC (http://www.MindstreamEducation.com), confirmed the company's plans to move forward with development of a groundbreaking high school option. Brilliant High SchoolsTM (http://www.BrilliantHigh.com) will serve students seeking an alternative to the traditional school setting that better suits their learning and contemporary lifestyles.
Thimmig will help prepare and submit Brilliant HighTM charter school applications for community leaders in several Florida counties that recognize the importance of solving our growing dropout crisis. Brilliant High Schools are state-of-the-art, high-tech learning environments that provide students ages 15 to 21 with a tuition-free choice to earn their high school diploma and develop essential skills for college and career readiness.
Brilliant High Schools will offer flexible schedules, year-round instruction, independent Internet-based learning and more individualized attention. "We believe that every student deserves a free, publicly funded education that supports their personal goals. Social equality and financial prosperity are inextricably linked to education, and a high school diploma is a vital credential in today's highly competitive world," explained Thimmig.
"Brilliant High Schools are a great place for students who may not be succeeding or comfortable in a traditional public or private school, or who may have already dropped out. The Brilliant High model is being designed from the ground up to better fit today's urban students. Students will realize quickly that they themselves are in charge of their learning progress. They will be motivated by their ability to master skills and achieve credits toward graduation at their own pace versus the traditional approach of class pacing which leaves many students bored and confused," commented Thimmig.
At Brilliant High Schools, the process is designed around the customer, not the institution. That is why we know students will be more successful and happier as they achieve their goals, often in less time than in traditional schools. Educators will enjoy the individualized teaching approach which provides for more one-on-one instruction and allows teachers to connect with students.
A top expert in school design, development, and management, Thimmig has experience in all facets of educational delivery. He has developed and operated over 35 schools designed to graduate at-risk, dropout students with state-recognized diplomas. Thousands of students have attended and graduated from these innovative schools. "Traditional schools are just not suited to meet the needs of every student. In so many cases, it's not the student or the parent; it's the process that needs to change to get the best results," Thimmig stated.
