At Growth Mindset Learning Lab leverages the teaching methodology of Dr. Carol Dwek, a Stanford University Professor, and the concept of learning through play.

  • Community matters.
  • Diversity and equity are our strengths.
  • Every challenge is an opportunity to grow your brain.
  • Praise wisely by prioritizing learning over approval and recognition.
  • Teaching young people to be courageous and enthusiastic about the learning process.
  • Students lead their education, and educators teach through facilation.
  • Remove learning timelines.
  • Effort + Application = Growth.
