MindWare Academy students are now back at school physically for the 2020-2021 School Year, after a period of transition to online learning with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic last March.  Our classrooms now offer in-school or online learning as individual families’ needs dictate.  A parent testimony below offers insight into our commitment to learning both in person and online as needed:

“MindWare’s transition to an online learning environment for the students has been swift, adaptive and nothing short of impressive. The school was a life-changing resource for our family before the pandemic. The teachers and staff at MindWare have not only helped my son learn to read, they taught in such an empathetic way they have cultivated a love of reading in him.

Now that my student is home, they are providing him direction, education, coping skills and social interaction opportunities. As a parent, I appreciate they are providing class instruction time, and social opportunities, craft projects and other out of school activities for the students. Without MindWare, my ability to work from home would be next to impossible.

The teachers with whom we have interacted at MindWare are continuously adapting their teaching strategies and engagement methods to meet the evolving needs of the students. These same skills allow them to continuously adapt and improve the online learning environment. I’m delighted and relieved MindWare has created a 5 week online summer program. The daily structure and social outlet will provide the scaffolding our family needs to have a successful day.

To any parent of a student with learning challenges, or student who is both gifted and challenged, I cannot recommend the customized learning and emotional support experience at MindWare enough.”   Parent of Grade 6 Student
