Blooming Minds Academy

Where there is passion and determination, there is victory. Blooming Minds STEAM Academy is politics-free. Our values are family and academic and sports achievement. We are solely focused on the academic development of our children. We strongly believe that when students are passionate about something and they show determination to get good at what they do, they will achieve their personal victory. Our students participate in Science Fair, Earth Day Activities, History, and Literature Projects, as well as Kangaroo Math Competitions, to help them learn in the real world and not just in a classroom. Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education prepares the next generation for any industry by developing valuable skill sets that allow them to be successful in their careers. We invite creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, leadership, decision-making, acceptance of failure, and more. Regardless of the future career paths our students are prepared to make a difference. We are passionate about their blooming minds!

Blooming Minds Academy is a school program that provides a solid academic foundation for your child in math and language arts. It boosts your child’s confidence and motivates kids to take on difficult problems to find creative solutions. Our academy offers education for children from 12 months to 15 years old. We combine school, pre-school, and post-school education. We use a variety of curricula and various teaching methods. Our teachers adopt the teaching methods of famous European theorists, philosophers, mathematicians, poets, musicians, and artists for the modern student.

Our Curriculum

At Blooming Minds Academy, education of mind is our top priority. We structure the curriculum around the best world learning methods. It helps children learn the syllabus faster and remember it better. Our curriculum encourages students to gain knowledge by experimenting and searching for answers, reflecting with the instructor, and then coming back and revising the material consistently. While the foundation of our curriculum has roots in Russian Math, Science, and the methods of Language teaching, we are firm believers that education cannot have a cookie-cutter mentality, and no one method of teaching will fit all children. We strongly encourage our instructor to adapt our demanding curriculum to the children’s individual needs in a class. For over 10 years, this approach allowed us to produce successful learners excited about meeting new challenges, as their educational foundation is solid.
