Brain-Based Learning at Brain Builders Academy
At Brain Builders Academy, we take a brain-based approach to learning, meaning our curriculum is designed to align with how young minds naturally develop, process information, and retain knowledge. By integrating research from neuroscience, psychology, and education, we create an environment where children thrive academically while fostering a love for learning.
What is a Brain-Based Approach to Learning?
A brain-based approach leverages how the brain learns best—through hands-on experiences, movement, social interaction, and real-world problem-solving. Instead of rote memorization and passive learning, our students actively engage in their education, ensuring deeper understanding and long-term retention.
At Brain Builders Academy, we:
✅ Align learning with early childhood brain development – Our curriculum reframes Common Core standards in a way that makes sense for young minds, introducing advanced concepts through play, exploration, and hands-on discovery.
✅ Use small group and one-on-one instruction – With a 5:1 student-teacher ratio, we personalize learning, allowing children to progress at their own pace.
✅ Engage mirror neurons for deeper learning – Mirror neurons help children learn by watching and imitating. Our immersive, dramatic play and hands-on projects activate these neurons, reinforcing new skills and concepts.
✅ Prioritize movement and multi-sensory learning – Research shows that children learn best when they engage multiple senses. Our lessons incorporate movement, touch, and hands-on materials to enhance understanding.
✅ Encourage curiosity and problem-solving – Instead of simply giving answers, we encourage students to ask questions, experiment, and think critically—helping them develop a problem-solving mindset that lasts a lifetime.

Why It Works
Our brain-based approach isn’t just theory—it delivers real results. Our Kindergarten class ranks in the top 1% globally on the NWEA MAP Math & Reading tests, proving that children learn best when teaching methods align with brain science.
By focusing on how children learn rather than just what they learn, we ensure that our students build strong cognitive foundations, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
