our approach
What makes Growing IQ different than other enrichment programs out there? While we are math-centric, we believe our methodology spans to subjects beyond math and the STEM fields. Growing IQ works to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the extensive use of experiential learning.
-
The process is long-term. If a parent is looking for a quick fix because their child is struggling at school, we are probably not your answer. Our goals are long term and making your child a problem-solver does not happen overnight.
-
Start young. A child's brain is curious and by having your child derive and discover can start as early as 3.5 years of age.
-
We do not emphasize speed.
-
We do not emphasize memorization of arithmetic tables.
-
We care about the process. "Why did you solve it this way?" "Can you explain why?"
-
Think of Growing IQ as a math lab. We average 6 to 7 students in each class and have two teachers in each class (4:1 student to teacher ratio).
Growing IQ's approach is about allowing your child to experience math and more importantly for the student to discover a concept.
If we teach our children everything we know, their knowledge is limited to ours. If we teach children to think, their knowledge is limitless.
