Strengthening Academic Potential

If you are a college or graduate student …

Many students in the U.S. believe that academic results are largely a matter of inherent ability, mostly inherited from parents who were either smarter than anyone has a right to be, or not quite as dumb as a box of rocks.  Many students in other countries believe that academic results are largely a matter of hard work.  The truth of the matter is that academic potential can be developed.  It is not just a matter of genes.  It is not just a matter of hard work.  Developing one’s potential to be successful academically is a matter of smart work.

Intelligence is not just one thing.  It is a multiplicity of processes that the brain uses to make sense of the world around us.  Glitches in any of those processes can slow us down, keep us from “getting it” as fast as we should, and as fast as we need to, to keep up with the demands of academic standards and the expectations we set for ourselves.

BrainWare Safari helps develop your cognitive ability and your capacity to learn.

 

If you are a high school student …

Many students in the U.S. believe that their ability to get into college is largely a matter of inherent ability, mostly inherited from parents who were either smarter than anyone has a right to be, or not quite as dumb as a box of rocks, and possibly somewhere in between.  Many students in other countries believe that academic results are largely a matter of hard work.  The truth of the matter is that academic potential can be developed.  Doing well on ACTs and SAT is not just a matter of genes.  It is also not just a matter of hard work.  Developing one’s potential to be successful academically is a matter of smart work.

Intelligence is not just one thing.  It is a collection of processes that the brain uses to make sense of the world around us.  Glitches in any of those processes can slow us down, keep us from “getting it” as fast as we should, and as fast as we need to, to keep up with the demands of academic standards and the expectations we set for ourselves.

BrainWare Safari helps develop your mental fitness and your capacity to learn.

 

If you are a junior high student …

Many kids in the U.S. believe that getting good grades is largely a matter of the intelligence they inherited from their parents.  If their parents are “smart,” they are think they are too.  If not, they think, “Why bother?”   But that’s not how everyone thinks.  Many students in other countries believe that academic results are largely a matter of hard work, and their parents push them to work hard.  But the  truth of the matter is that intelligence can be developed.  Doing well in school is not just a matter of genes.  It is also not just a matter of hard work.  Developing your potential to be successful is a matter of smart work.

Intelligence is not just one thing.  It is a collection of processes that the brain uses to make sense of the world around us.  Glitches in any of those processes can slow us down, keep us from “getting it” as fast as we should, and as fast as we need to, to keep up with the demands of school and what everyone seems to expect of us (and what we hope to achieve, even if we don’t always admit it).

BrainWare Safari helps develop your brain power and your ability to succeed in school.

 

If you are an elementary school student …

Kids in the U.S. think that they have to be smart to get good grades.  They also think that whether they are smart or “dumb” is something they came into the world with.  They think:

“My parents are ‘smart,’ so I must be too.”

Or

“I’m just not smart and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

The truth is that being smart is something you become, not something that you are.  It takes work, but you don’t have to work until your fingers fall off.  You can develop your “smarts.”  That’s what BrainWare Safari is all about.

BrainWare Safari helps you build your brain and your ability to succeed in school.

Educators Say ... Helping Our Students Close Academic Gaps

by Anne Budicin, Resource Teacher, Glenwood School

"Because of our students' backgrounds, we are always striving to provide them with opportunities that close academic gaps and help them achieve their true potential. BrainWare Safari is an essential part of achieving this. It helped our students improve their shor-term, long-term and working memory. Teachers have seen improvement in attentiveness during lessons and noted better recall of information. Ultimately, BrainWare Safari helps to prepare our students for high school and beyond by bridging those gaps in achievement and cognitive processing."

Educators Say ... Gives Teachers Valuable Data They Can Use to Improve Their Instruction

by Dr. Lou Whitaker, Principal, Pope John Paul II, FL

"The area we noticed the greatest improvement in was the attitude of the students. They enjoyed playing the games and the teachers and parents noticed the students were able to complete homework assignments with less stress and frustration--which was a direct result of BrainWare Safari. As an educator for over forty years, I have spent my career looking for new, innovative programs that produce results, give teachers valuable data they can use to improve their instruction, get students excited about learning, and put fun back in the classroom. BrainWare Safari is such a program."

Parents Say ... It Was Challenging and Kept Her Excited

by Karen W. (Victoria, Age 8)

"I liked the program because Victoria was able to have her own reward system right there in front of her and that would keep her motivated to continue to pass the levels. It was game-oriented so it was fun, but at the same time, it was challenginge to her and kept her excited. As she passed more levels, her success became greater, and she would even surprise herself."

Parents Say ... The Challenge to Think Beyond Their Comfort Zone

by

"My second child (12) completed BrainWare Safari about a month ago and our youngest (10) is onto his last bar. The program presented all of our children with the challenge to think beyond their comfort zone, to step 'outside' the box, and be creative in how to problem-solve their learning steps. Thank you! If you ever develop a program which takes them from the end of BrainWare Safari onward, then count us in for the next round!"

Parents Say ... You Can Give This Gift to Your Child

by Cheryl M. (Drew, Age 10)

"It's like the difference between taking your child to a music lesson and sitting and waiting or having the music teacher come to your house. You can manage it, you can get your hands around it, and you can give this gift to your child."

Grandparents Say ... More Focused in School

by Donna C. (Brendan (Age 12)

"The first time Brendan used BrainWare Safari, he became so thoroughly engaged with the activities that he did not want to stop. He actually set his alarm clock an hour early the next morning so he could do more BrainWare before leaving for school. When his parents went to their parent-teacher conference recently, after he had been using the program for several weeks, his teacher was very impressed. She observed that he is more focused in school and more confident in his ability to independently complete his classroom and homework assignments."

Educators Say ... Preparing Our Kids for Problems We’ve Never Thought About

by Peter Kline, Author of "The Everyday Genius"

"Information is growing at a pace never before seen in the history of the world. Today we have billions of times more information than we had half a century ago. It is more and more difficult to find people who can do the jobs that need to be done today. Our children and grandchildren are growing up into a world where they'll have to deal with problems we've haven't thought about. BrainWare Safari is one of the tools that can make that experience delightful instead of frightening and threatening."

Clinicians Say ... Skills Children Will Apply Every Day of Their Lives

by Russell Osnes, OD

"Our brains are constantly changing and developing. The more we exercise them, the faster we learn, and the better we process the information we receive. Working on the 41 cognitive skills encompassed in BrainWare Safari can help kids perform better, do tasks more efficiently, remember what they've been studying in school better, and be able to stay on task longer. The skills children learn in BrainWare Safari they will apply every day of their lives."

Parents Say ... Skills that Benefit Children for Their Lifetime

by Puling Z. (Rachel, Age 7)

"BrainWare Safari works on skills that can benefit children for their lifetime. Other skills they may forget, but this is different. It's like Chinese traditional medicine; it cures form the root."

Parents Say ... I See My Daughter Making Gains

by Lisa E. (Kristi, Age 7)

"BrainWare Safari is not reading or math. Rather it teaches the skills necessary to learn. My daughter, who spent four and a half years in an institution in Russia, has completed 73 levels so far and is thrilled. She has even completed some areas with memory and sequencing, areas she was very weak in and thought she could not do. I see my daughter making gains on this versus other computer games she plays. This is unique."
