Up to the Challenge

Our children are living in an increasingly challenging world. KoolMinds Private School is designed to give children the knowledge, skills, and resilience to meet challenges with success. KoolMinds views success as: "Accomplishing those things that lead to progress, contribution, fulfillment and joy in life".

KoolMinds implements the following elements needed for each student to achieve greater success in school and, most importantly, in life.
  • Small class sizes - only 8-16 students in each class, along with one-on-one and small group instruction.
  • Individualized Curriculum - based on each student's individual skill level, strengths and needs. Whether your child is struggling or is bored because of not being challenged, our individualized curriculum will meet his/her needs. 
  • Whole-brain teaching - which increases critical thinking and the ability to problem-solve, analyze, weigh choices, innovate, create, and achieve. 
  • A stimulating environment, activities, and learning - to enhance NEUROGENESIS (birth of new brain cells) and NEUROPLASTICITY (the brain's ability to rewire itself and form new neural connections).
  • Active, enjoyable learning - instead of "drill-based", monotonous, lecture-in/regurgitate-out learning.
  • A stress-free environment - We help your child "stretch", without feeling stressed.
  • Ongoing assessments - of your child's progress combined with any needed modifications. These assessments help us create a curriculum for your child that fills in any learning gaps.
  • No homework!!! - We give tips for "life-learning" that you can incorporate. This replaces homework melt-downs with enjoyable, meaninful learning activities.
Learning that increases the brain's "executive function" skills - Brain power is usually correlated to intelligence and knowledge but what really sets a child up for learning life skills - even being happy - is a set of abilities called executive functioning. Executive functioning breaks down into four general skills:
  • Attention - focusing, sustaining attention, and shifting it when you need to.
  • Impulse control - the ability to think before you do or say something.
  • Working memory - the ability to hold and retrieve information. 
  • Planning - plan and organize to carry out actions to achieve a goal or solve a problem, and adjusting those plans if needed.

Enhancing the Five Intelligences:

Intelligence isn't limited to academic intelligence. There are FIVE intelligences. Academic Intelligence can help an individual excel in school, and other similar situations. However, to excel in life, in addition to academic intelligence, a person also needs emotional, social, self, and life intelligences:

  • Academic Intelligence - The ability to do well in school and similar situations. 
  • Emotional Intelligence - Intelligence related to emotional regulation, perseverance, handling emotions in a positive way, resilience, inner strength, and so forth.
  • Social Intelligence - Possessing the knowledge and skills for positive social interactions and relationships. Research shows that social success is one of the greatest predictors of happiness and well-being. It also shows that the absence of positive social interactions is linked to negative consequences, such as withdrawal, loneliness, depression, feelings of anxiety, lowered self-esteem and difficulty at school, work and home. 
  • "Self" Intelligence - A high level of self-awareness, self-esteem, confidence, self-management, self-motivation; and the ability to achieve his/her greatest possibilities in life.
  • Life Intelligence - The knowledge and skills for being successful in life - goal setting and achieving, planning ahead, common sense, "street smarts", understanding how life works, and the ability to make the most of life. 

Lectures and Worksheets

Although a portion of our school day includes lessons and worksheets, more of the day is spent doing learning activities, projects, and games. Lectures and worksheets only involve on part of the brain and focus mainly on the cognitive skill of memory. In order to utilize all of the brain's cognitive abilities, an important component of KoolMinds Private School's curriculum is "hands on" learning activities, projects, and games. This is important because while participating in these enjoyable activities, students:

  • Get endorphins going - and "when endorphins are flowing, learning is growing".
  • Enhance all areas of their brain - increasing skills in memory, sequencing, observation, problem-solving, listening, wise-decision making, empathy, resilience, emotional control, impulse control, creativity, and many other brain-related skills.
  • Enhance neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells) and neuroplasticity (strengthening and creating new neuropathways and circuits).
  • Increase the ability to be flexible and deal with different ways of doing and thinking.
  • Solve problems both with materials and with people.
  • Work as a team, cooperate with others, and increase other social skills.
  • Work through their feelings in creative ways.
  • Increase sense of competence.
  • Enhance life-success skills.
  • Help them see the importance of positive social interactions and help them develop greater empathy and consideration.

Academic Challenges

When your child struggles in school, it can negatively affect other areas of his  or her life. Regardless of your child’s academic difficulties, KoolMinds can help.  We assess to determine the level of difficulties and their causes. Then we create  a success plan to help your child achieve greater academic success.

Creating Academic Success
If your child is struggling in school, it can lead to a host of challenges, frustrations, and difficulty – not just for your child, but for you as well. Academic failures can affect a child’s self-esteem, emotions, and even behavior. At times, it can lead to “academic shutdown”. Homework can be a nightmare – if it gets done at all. Fortunately, KoolMinds offers the following services to help your child achieve academic success:

Academic-Challenge Assessments
There are multitude of factors that can play a part in academic struggle or success. At KoolMinds we conduct assessments to identify the “Whys” of your child’s academic challenges. After the assessments are completed, we will meet with you and your child to create an Academic Success Plan for your child.

Educational Consulting
KoolMinds can help increase your child’s academic success through:

  • Observing your child in his/her classroom, and providing recommendations to the teacher(s)

  • If needed, create an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or 504 Plan outline.

IEP (Individualized Education Plan) – is a plan or program developed to ensure that a child who has a disability identified under the law and is attending an elementary or secondary educational institution receives specialized instruction and related services.

504 Plan – this plan ensures that any public-school student who has a qualifying disability will receive the accommodations they need for academic success. The 504 can be for students who have special learning needs, or emotional, behavioral, or health issues that interfere with their academic success. Obtaining a 504 plan doesn’t require the extensive testing required to get an IEP. The student is in a regular classroom, but accommodations are made in relation to the student’s specific challenges.


The process for obtaining a 504 or IEP will vary greatly from school to school. In addition, some schools aren’t well versed in how to best create and implement them. Some schools may even say that they don’t do 504’s – they seem not to understand that providing 504’s is a federal statute and, unfortunately, some schools will drag their feet on getting a 504 or IEP set up. Often this is due to the fact that they re overwhelmed, short-staffed, and have a limited amount of time and energy. That is why schools will typically love having a aren’t walk in with a 504 or IEP already outlined for them (which KoolMinds can do for you). In addition to saving your child’s school time and energy, providing them with a 504 or IEP outlined proposal will also speed up the 504 or IEP process. This means that your child will begin receiving the accommodations and/or services needed for success much sooner.

Homework Hub
Homework can be an unpleasant time of day for students and parents. The Homework Hub offers a productive and motivating setting for your child to get the help he or she needs to successfully complete homework and because homework is done, time at home can be centered on more pleasant activities and interactions. Homework Hub is set up to be a positive experience and includes academic tips and success strategies.

Relationship/Social Challenges

Social/relationship skills are an integral part of engaging with others and functioning in society. Absence of these skills is linked to withdrawal, loneliness, poor relationships, depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem and other issues. KoolMinds offers a variety of programs to boost social/relationship skills.

Research shows that social and relationship success is one of the greatest predictors of happiness and well-being. It also shows that the absence of positive social interactions is linked to negative consequences, such as withdrawal, loneliness, depression, feelings of anxiety, lowered self-esteem and difficulty at school, work, and home. Social skills impact most areas of life and are crucial to positive interactions and relationships and happiness in life. Social and relationship challenges can include: 

  • Challenges reading body language (gestures, facial expression, etc.).

  • Inappropriate behavior for the social situation.
  • Difficult or awkward interactions.
  • Often gets into arguments.
  • Doesn’t follow social rules.
