Connecting Parents, Students, and Educators to The Science of Brain-Balance and Community-Based-Project Based Learning
Our Mission is to inform students, parents, and educators about online education hazards while bringing academic and medical communities together. These hazards include screen pixels, screen time, and educational games that create neurological brain imbalances in children and steal their childhood, culture, and community. We will provide solutions for healing through brain balance therapy and community-based project-based learning that will heal their minds, hearts, and souls for this generation and future generations to come.
"Changing the World One Pixel at a Time!"
Students address the root cause of their challenges and move toward meaningful change that improves their life experiences. This approach is rooted in Project-Based Learning and an authentic life project-based learning that includes Arts, Music, Expository Text Reading, Writing Science and Social Studies Curriculum with measured Lexile Levels and layered morphology.
We offer a variety of educational consulting services, including information resources for parents, students, and educators, and more. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to help students achieve their academic and personal goals.
