What grade levels are Brain Power programs for?
We welcome students from 1st grade through 12th grade (senior year of high school). Courses are designed to meet students where they are: early math and literacy for elementary students, advanced problem-solving and writing for middle schoolers, and public speaking and Olympiad-level work for high school students – and everything in between.
How do placement assessments work?
Assessments are free, personalized sessions that determine which class best matches a student’s skills and goals.
When do classes take place?
All programs run after school and weekends, making them a complement—not a replacement—for day school.
How is Brain Power different from tutoring?
We don’t reteach homework. We build higher-order skills: critical thinking, communication, creativity and problem solving.
