The brain is an organ that acts as a muscle in that the more you train it, the stronger it becomes. What you practice, is what you hardwire. Futures Academy in conjunction with Dr. Tere Linzey, a leading Licensed Educational Psychologist, is excited to offer the Brain Matterz Brain Labs/Camps to grades 5-12 at our campus locations.
The Brain Matterz program, also currently offered during the summer at Stanford University, is broken up into brain intensives (20-30 hours of brain optimization) for the purpose of strengthening cognitive skills like memory, attention/focus, auditory processing and visual processing. Cognitive skills are fundamental to learning. We help students:

At Futures, we believe students can reach their full potential with personalized instruction that instills confidence, character, and a lifelong love of learning. On our campuses, you will find close-knit communities that foster academic achievement and personal development.
Rather than a large class ratio of 1:30, we teach core academics in the one-to-one model we founded over 30 years ago and have been perfecting ever since. This teaching model helps students’ master academic fundamentals and is proven to produce better learning outcomes.
ONE-TO-ONE INSTRUCTION
We go beyond core academics to prepare our students for the new economy. We teach the science of learning, along with robotics, coding, game design, digital arts, cyber security, storytelling, and more. Our 21st century skill electives help students explore their interests and find what they are passionate about pursuing after high school.
21ST CENTURY SKILLS
Discovering how you learn best and cultivating successful study skills, mindsets, and habits is often taken for granted. Yet, these are the most important areas to develop. We teach students how to study, why effort matters, and how to build grit and the growth mindset needed for learning in our Science of Learning courses & in Guided Study.
Learning How to Learn
School doesn’t have to be Monday-Friday 7am – 3pm anymore. We offer schedules aligned to students’ optimal learning times via our morning, late morning, or afternoon schedule. Students can even complete coursework in compressed days to free time for extracurricular activities, athletics, training, acting, and other interests.
Flexible Schedules
We don’t look like a traditional school on purpose. We cap enrollment at 100 full-time families to help students become immersed in their schools. Campus activities, from clubs and field trips to prom and grad night are a few of our student favorites. From the campus colors to the furniture, our school is designed to encourage students to connect and build healthy friendships.
Connected Community
We believe that finding and pursuing your authentic purpose, finding ‘your jam’, ‘your thing’, ‘your passion’, is part of the secret sauce of career success and happiness. We help students cultivate the habits that are proven to increase happiness and to find their purpose via our college readiness program.

I would definitely recommend this school to anyone that has a child that doesn’t learn “inside the box” of a traditional school system. Here they try to make the education revolve around the student, instead of the student conforming a standard syllabus.
