Mindware changed our daughter’s life. She was the kind of kid in the public system who was struggling, but didn’t cause chaos in the classroom so she was being left behind. She couldn’t read and was not keeping up to appears academically, This was impacting self-esteem and she was becoming really hard on herself. We decided shortly before the school year to investigate alternatives and found Mindware. Within three months of being at the school, she was improving academically, but more importantly, she was becoming herself, socially and personally. She is more confident and what she’s capable of and even supporting other students. She now tells us when she grows up she wants to be a teacher at Mindware. We are so grateful we found a place that could help her thrive.

Mindware Academy has been truly life-changing for our son, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a supportive and specialized learning environment.

From the very beginning, the staff have shown an exceptional understanding of their students, providing a patient, compassionate, and individualized approach to learning. With small class sizes, the teachers build meaningful connections with each child, tailoring lessons to develop essential skills in a way that truly resonates. It’s also wonderful to see so many students working toward similar goals, fostering a sense of belonging and encouragement.  

The leadership at Mindware is outstanding. The principal’s depth of experience is evident in every aspect of the school, and Bryan, the Senior Supervisor and Lead of Regulation Support, is an invaluable member of the team. Their expertise and commitment make a tremendous impact on the students’ growth, both academically and emotionally.  

Our son loves all of his teachers and enjoys so many aspects of the school. Some of his favorite classes are Peace Circle and IR, where vital life skills are developed in a supportive and engaging way.  

Before coming to Mindware, we struggled to find a learning environment that truly met his needs. Now, he is happier to go to school and is actually learning. The difference has been remarkable, and we couldn’t be more grateful to be part of the Mindware Academy community.

MindWare Academy offers a nurturing and supportive environment where my child with a learning disability (learning dysphasia and verbal apraxia) has not only thrived academically but also developed a strong sense of self-confidence and belonging. Since attending MindWare Academy we have seen a drastic change in his academic abilities and social confidence.

The school emphasizes identifying and nurturing each student’s strengths and celebrating their accomplishments, promoting a positive learning experience as well as prioritizing the social and emotional well-being of its students (for example Peace Circle and Journey Jam, weekly theme group discussions), creating a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive and are taught to communicate effectively and with respect. 

MindWare Academy is not only a school for kids to learn but where they are encouraged to build community, which I ( as a parent) believe is equally important in a child’s academic path/experience. We are thrilled and proud that our son is experiencing and contributing to a positive and enriching school environment.

At my old school no one understood my handwriting and it was hard to read. I had a tutor but that didn’t help me at all but signed me up for MindWare Academy. At MindWare they taught me how to read and write and now I can read chapter books. I hope you love MindWare Academy. Come to MindWare Academy!!
