BrainBoost Education

Expand Your Mind

At BrainBoost, enrichment is a 'deep dive' into the wide world of ideas. While all of our services fill some function of enriching students academic lives, Enrichment focused classes are delivered to our students through PODs (small group classes), special events, and Course Power Ups.

At BrainBoost, everyday is an enriching experience...

Star tutor Alex (err, Karl Marx) answers questions from BrainBoost students on his life and philosophy.

Enrichment can support learning through multiple pathways

In this case, a BrainBoost student created a 3D model of an animal cell in order to master the details of cell biology.

The best teachers in the world...

Are literally in the HUB every day - we use online resources (such as TED Talks) to bring education to life through group discussions and 1-on-1 enrichment.

Course Power-Ups!

A DL school delivers the content and credit for a course (such as Math 11), BrainBoost delivers the enrichment, communicates with the school and keeps you on track!

PODs

PODs are small group classes led by our fun, dynamic instructors. The course focus is set, yet the teacher has the freedom and expertise to guide the class in the most natural direction for its participants. The result is a student-focused, engaging round of discovery that is fun and relevant to today's world.

Special Events

Guest lecturers, afternoon TED Talks, and weekly field trips all add enrichment to our students' lives. We are always open to new ideas for group learning activities and HUB-hosted events, so please let us know if you have a big idea!

For more information stop by the HUB and check out at the activities board.

Course Power-Ups

Course Power-Ups are offered during the summer months and are designed to assist you in getting credit from an online school.

Register with an online school in order to get official credit (for example, Math 11 through a distance learning school).
Attend 3 hours of course enrichment each week at the HUB, and 3 hours of private Homework Help - open only to members of your class.
Take the course in a small group environment (12 students max) and with a teacher that you like.
