Academics, Strategy, & Enrichment
for the Next Generation
Mentorship for the modern mind. We blend academic mastery with creative strategy to help students navigate school and the world with confidence.
Curriculum & Mentorship
1-on-1 | Individualized Curriculum
Literature Focus: We go beyond the reading list. Deep dives into vocabulary, analysis, and creative writing. We can even build custom book lists to reignite a passion for stories.
Civics & Law Focus: Introduction to the courtroom, mock trials, and "Nation Building" simulations to teach ethics, government, and public speaking.
1-on-1 or Small Pods
The Metagame: We teach not just how to play, but how to analyze the most effective ways to win. Students learn probability, risk assessment, and logic.
The Games: Chess, Backgammon, Poker • Magic: The Gathering, Dominion, Settlers of Catan
Social & Collaborative Classes
Dungeons & Dragons (4-6 Students): A collaborative storytelling campaign where students work together to solve puzzles and navigate social dynamics.
Theater & Improv (4-10 Students): High-energy workshops using improv games and scene work to build confidence, quick thinking, and stage presence.
The Strategist & The Storyteller
All minds inherently love to learn, but traditional methods don't fit every student. We believe that by bridging academic rigor with the engagement of strategy games and the creativity of the arts, we can unlock genius in unexpected places.
At Meta Mind, our goal is to identify your child's unique learning style—whether they are gifted, neurodivergent, or simply uninspired—and challenge them to master their own potential.
10+ Years in Education: Specializing in gifted and neurodivergent mentorship, with a track record of students accepted to top-choice advanced programs.
World-Class Strategist: Ranked in the top 0.1% globally across competitive strategy games (Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone). We teach the "metagame" of logic and risk.
Professional Actor: Experience in TV, Film, and Theater used to teach public speaking, confidence, and passionate self-expression.
