Brighter Minds:
Based on the science of Neuroplasticity, Brighter Minds (BM) is a training methodology designed to catalyze cognitive growth for children between the ages of 5 and 15 for a lifetime of learning. Using our proprietary interactive tools and techniques, each of our training programs aims at whole brain activation where the right brain is stimulated through exercise, sound waves and relaxation to achieve left-right equilibrium.
Brighter Minds is a finely tuned system of tools and techniques informed by the latest advances in neuroscience that enable children to develop their cognitive abilities within a framework of love and support. The intellectual, emotional and social transformation that it catalyses in every child may seem nothing short of magical, but at the core of our program and process is pure, evidence-based Science.
