Our unique approach utilizes physical activity incorporated into Learning. Physical activity during or prior to learning has a profound effect on cognition and memory.
One of the key characteristics of giftedness includes excitability and fast pace learning. Our lessons embrace this characteristic, and encourage the child to physically play while learning. We help with homeschooling as well.
