METHODOLOGY
The methodological underpinning of the Brain Booster™ Curriculum is a cutting-edge combination of advanced scientific and empirical research. We arduously comb research journals for the latest scientific research revealing new understandings of the intricate and complex workings of the human brain.
But we don’t stop there, because this research doesn’t tell the whole story. We combine this scientific understanding with empirical insight based on interaction with thousands of children and teachers. We continually apply the latest research to several layers of teaching modules within the fluid environment of actual classrooms, playgrounds, homes and camps.
This is not theory—we are educators ourselves. We spend over 200 days each year actively educating children from across the nation and world through our award-winning camps. The result is transformation and lasting change.
