About
Brain Builders Academy offers an immersive STEAM program that includes one-on-one instruction in math, reading, and piano, along with an innovative, hands-on, project-based curriculum. Classes are intentionally small, with no more than five students per teacher, and the program accepts new students year-round, with the youngest learners beginning at 36 months. The academy uses a proprietary neuroscience-based curriculum that aligns with the brain’s critical developmental windows and includes a social-emotional development program based on key findings by the Harvard Center on the Developing Child.
