I would like to bring you a new vendor I meet last weekend at the DFW Summer Expo! The new company is NuMinds Enrichment and I would like to let you know through NuMinds you can find unique enrichment opportunities for home school students and there families.
Who is NuMinds Enrichment?
Founded in 2013 by two Frisco area teachers of the gifted and talented, our co-founders set out to start an “EdVolution” by transforming the relationship between students and learning.
We focus on student engagement and the integration of STEAM concepts carefully blended into out-of-the-box creative activities. Our core vision is that learning should be fueled by student passion, driven by and intrinsic curiosity and that individual learners develop asynchronously — and therefore require a personalized approach to curriculum. In addition, we feel strongly that rigor and the development of resilience are key factors of long-term student success.
With our background in education of diverse and advanced learners, and years of experience in the classroom and developing curriculum, we create programs centered around this core vision of real, inspired learning.
We are committed to empowering all children, preparing them for the future workforce by inspiring innovation, divergent and critical thinking, and a growth mindset. And also fueling their passion, curiosity, and exploration of new interests!
What Enrichment Do We Offer?
We support a variety of private, public, and Montessori schools, and provide in-school STEAM-based enrichment programs. We also offer an enrichment program designed specifically to meet the needs of the home school schedule. These programs are tailored for your learners, not rigid or fixed!
- All of our curriculum is developed by us and is further adapted by our teachers who receive special training for teaching mixed-aged groups to be able to reach any learner at their own “intellectual” age.
- We use the principles of project-based learning to support and apply fundamental skills taught in the classroom. We show how science, technology, engineering, arts/humanities, and mathematics are used to solve real-world problems–but we give them a twist!
- We intellectually challenge the students to stretch beyond their comfort level while having fun at the same time!
- Although we got our start in gifted and talented, we work with all types of learners and our lessons are designed to be modular and adaptable.
Here is some general information about our various after-school enrichment programs and to learn more about our current home school program in Frisco.
What inspires us?
Brilliant young minds don’t always get all the intellectual nutrition they need from their daily diet of school and extra-curriculars. Our co-founders were driven by the vision that NuMinds could provide a layer of enrichment beyond the school day, where real, inspired learning created the conditions for lifelong curiosity and self-development.
- Real – Our programs extend beyond basic academic needs into the realm of enrichment, where a learner’s authentic engagement with ideas, processes and products is paramount.
- Inspired – Our programs derive from our own sense of inspiration and are focused on developing a learner’s own passions and interests.
- Learning – Our programs provide new knowledge, insight and wisdom that is valuable to the learner’s and the world’s development and advancement.
