Sabrina Smith serves as Program Director and Homeschool Program Leader and is a homeschooling mom of two, a certified yoga instructor, and an experienced educator with a Master’s in Kinesiology who has taught wellness, swimming, outdoor education, group fitness, nutrition, movement, anatomy, and STEAM-based science in university and homeschool settings, including as a college-level health and wellness instructor at Cal State East Bay and Saint Mary’s College. Mark Miller is the Head Jiu Jitsu Instructor who runs the jiu jitsu program, is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Eduardo Rocha (Royler Gracie lineage), a black belt in Uechi Ryu Karate under Alan Dollar (Kanbun Uechi lineage), a lifelong martial artist, homeschool dad, active competitor, and has over 20 years of training and teaching experience in the East Bay Area. The mission of Growth Mindset Collective – Homeschool Enrichment is to empower homeschool families by providing enriching, movement-based, nature-centered programs that inspire curiosity, encourage creativity, and build meaningful community, and to empower families by providing unique, hands-on programs that nurture creativity, curiosity, movement, and collaboration.
The program uses a parent-led collaboration model with a co-op spirit, encourages parent involvement, and is described as a small, homegrown collective. Classes are capped at 6–8 students, are tailored for children in TK through 3rd grade in the weekly enrichment programs, and are not a drop-off program, with families welcome to stay, participate, and collaborate, and younger siblings often joining in informally. Wild and Free Nature Exploration trips and Wild and Free Gatherings are free, informal outdoor gatherings in natural spaces, local parks, and preserves, open to all homeschool families to hike, play, and learn together.
The jiu jitsu program includes elementary, middle school, and high school jiu jitsu classes, an Anti-Bullying Program that uses role-play, verbal boundary-setting, and jiu jitsu-based self-defense, and an invite-only Kid's Competition Team for students interested in local tournaments, with an emphasis on character development, anti-bullying basics, and personal responsibility. Unique features include nature-based, hands-on homeschool programs; movement-based, nature-centered programs; outdoor exploration where nature is the classroom; integration of yoga, games, and optional jiu jitsu; a focus on movement, mindset, and meaningful learning; and a Jiu Jitsu & STEAM class that combines martial arts with hands-on STEAM learning.
Parent feedback includes comments that children “come home showing us everything they've learned and telling us all about it” and that “they love it,” with one parent stating that “Mark and Sabrina are great at what they do” and “very nice and prompt in responding to any questions.” Another parent reports that their kids “absolutely love Sabrina co-op class and Marks JuJitsu class” and says, “They truly care about your kids education and safety. I 1000% recommend checking them out!” A parent identified as Julianna K. states, “My kids absolutly care about your kids eduaction and safety. I 1000% recommend checking them out!”
