Mindframe Education is an innovative learning center, with a focus on STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and advanced academics.

Programs here are personalized, experiential, and fun. Kids learn best when they’re doing something they want to, so we use their innate curiosity and creativity as well as interesting projects and tools to fully engage their minds. They love being here — and we delight in seeing them learn.

And while they’re having a good time, kids are forming the critical thought, collaboration, and creativity skills theyneed to thrive in school and beyond.
