"I am happy to have you updated on the accomplishments of my beautiful little girl. At present, she hopes to attend graduate school and has two offers for a place in the Masters programs for Chem Eng.  She has submitted a research proposal and is hoping to obtain funding for her graduate research. She has a fighting chance and I thank Mindware for that.”

“As soon as my daughter walked through the doors of MindWare, her eyes smiled for the first time in years and she said with a determination my husband and I have never heard,"Mommy, I'm coming here." It was a statement; she was certain. Instantly she was where she belonged and we knew she would finally fit in.  My only regret with MindWare was that we became a part of their family too late.  Although our time is over at MindWare, it will never be forgotten.  We had our daughter be her true self for 2 full years.  A decision we will never regret as parents. The approach to learning and teaching at MindWare was unlike anything I had ever seen. The teachers took the time to connect and get to know our daughter and she felt so happy and comfortable going to school each day, she was actually excited. She wasn't just a student at MindWare, she was a member of their small, caring, community that quickly became like her family. Thank you to the entire staff for teaching my child like one of you own.”

“From the moment our son was introduced to Mindware, he had finally found a school he could call his own. We’ve been thrilled to watch him make close friends and find a place there. Mindware’s small class sizes have meant that he is enjoying learning again - which hasn’t happened for years.”

“My favorite class at Mindware is math, and I didn’t like it at my old school. I also love playing with my friends at recess and going to the park.”

“Mindware's exceptionally caring and qualified educators made our son realize his potential, and that a learning disability is not a disability at all.  Mindware's staff create a safe, structured and nurturing environment, addressing the academic and social needs of each individual child, while embracing uniqueness and encouraging inclusivity. ”

“Before MindWare, I hated school. I was falling behind and just gave up on doing things in class, and nobody even noticed.  At MindWare though, I looked forward to school and actually learned things that I didn't think were possible! I realized if I work hard, I can do whatever I want to do!”

"Mindware Academy was for my son Alfonso, who has an ASD diagnosis, a godsend. Not only did the school and its amazing, caring teachers help him to meet the academic goals, but most importantly, they have provided him with tools for emotional and social growth. I wish every school were like Mindware. Every student would benefit from its unique, warm and nurturing environment, where children are taught and encouraged to embrace their differences, to be respectful to others and care about others. I am forever grateful to Mindware Academy and its  supportive teachers and assistants, who have accepted my son just as he is, and have helped him grow and face his challenges all these years. A very special thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the most dedicated, endearing, loving teacher I have ever known, Ms. Susan Mancini. We adore you."

"When I first arrived at Mindware Academy I felt nervous and unaware of my surroundings. I was a bit worried too, as I came from another country and many things were different. I was very lucky as I was included fast by the teachers and the students. Throughout these years, I have met nice friends who were really supportive and welcoming to me. As I have Autism, and I have some special needs, and it was a relief to know that there were other kids who have challenges as well. Mindware Academy has taught me a lot of things, but the most important one is that despite the challenges we have, we need to be happy with ourselves and be resilient. I have really enjoyed our spirits days, art and drama classes. We had a blast and really had a chance to explore our creativity and uniqueness. I also feel that Mindware and my amazing teachers gave me a lot of tools to prepare all of us for High School. I was very happy at this school and I will always remember my friends and my wonderful teachers, who treated me with kindness and affection."

"Mindware Academy is an excellent school; the teachers connect with the students, and the students feel seen and respected. Our daughter has a support system with the other students at Mindware as well. She's happy, thriving, and enjoying school -- it has been the best three years. While the curriculum is excellent and the teachers are skilled, I think it's important to convey the social benefits as well. Mindware offers an environment where the emotional needs of the children are just as important as their academic goals."
