Educating Innovation
The Cajal Academy Blog
When we set out to create Cajal Academy, we soon discovered that more than just a ‘tweak’ was needed to align the traditional educational system with all scientists now know about the human brain, its connections to the body, and how children learn and experience the world. That’s why we are founded as a non-profit organization with a dual mission: to develop new educational models, and apply them in a flagship school.
We’ll use this space to share more about our program and the science behind it as we grow. Please sign up for our newsletter below to get our updates!
Come find out what’s possible when you switch to neuroscience-based education, and learn about our ground-breaking method for reducing or removing learning disabilities! We’ll be giving a tour of our historic facility, a “teach in” with our visionary Head of School on the neuroscience behind our program, and an overview of our very unique program and how we use that science to create transformative student growth. RSVP to join us in-person or online!
