MindStein Challenge Center 

Clientele

Motivated students interested in experiencing group learning as a way of extending critical and creative thinking, while having fun, are welcome. This program is not intended to provide remediation for conventional curriculum. The MindStein Program introduces enrichment that goes beyond grade expectations, so requires students to be prepared to think (or to be ready to learn to think better). Some students with learning challenges will benefit greatly from this non-conventional approach to learning, but students with serious cognitive limitations would find the pace and content frustrating. If you are not sure if this program would be advantageous for your child, please outline your questions and concerns in an e-mail so we can set up a time for an interview. All queries or comments will be responded to ASAP.

Games Resources

Some benefits of thinking games are to:
