“Teachers and students cannot just work harder to achieve what we need in education today. We must make a paradigm shift in teaching methods to take a major step forward.”
Bill Habermehl, Superintendent of Schools, Orange County, CA

“One of the most important features of the MIND program is that it is research-based and the results are quantifiable. It is vitally important that public schools implement programs whose validity and effectiveness are research driven.”
Marian Bergeson, Former California Secretary of Education

“It is because of the philosophy behind the MIND Institute’s problem-based learning, visualization strategies and concept-driven instruction that we believe our students experienced unparalleled levels of success. ”
Dr. Shawn Smith, Principal, Huff Elementary, District U-46, Elgin, IL

“Our learning disabled students have done so well that they are not requiring the assistance of a Special Education teacher. This really helps with inclusion of special education in regular classes.”
Linda Lang, Principal, St. Martin Hall, San Antonio, TX

”ST Math offers ‘joy in learning’. Children can’t wait to go to the program. You can see the eagerness in their eyes. That’s what learning should be like – JOY.”
Dr. Diane Watanabe, Los Angeles County Office of Education Institute of Learning, Teaching, and the Human Brain

”The most exciting thing about MIND’s Algebra Readiness is that students are excited about learning. Their confidence and competence with math are improving and they’re building a depth of understanding rather than learning rote procedures they quickly forget.”
Linda Catanzaro, middle school teacher, Giano Intermediate School, Rowland USD, CA
