Masterminds Academy is a globally validated micro-school for Preschool through Grade 8—blending academic excellence, real-world learning and whole-child development.
With just 5–6 students per group, our learners flourish — often performing more than two years ahead of traditional benchmarks.
We guarantee your child will flourish—intellectually, physically, and socially—through a bespoke, joyful education that delivers academic excellence, real-world mastery, and lifelong confidence to thrive in tomorrow’s world.
Traditional schools were created over 150 years ago to train obedient factory workers for an industrial economy. One teacher standing in front of 20 to 30 students delivering the same lesson to all, remains the dominant model—even in many elite private schools.
The result? Large class sizes, rigid instruction and minimal alignment with how children truly learn.
Masterminds offers premium door-to-door transportation for families in Palo Alto, Atherton, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Portola Valley, and surrounding areas—ensuring your child’s learning journey is seamless from the moment they leave home.
We integrate neuroscience with over 60 years of child development research to create an evidence-based, effective learning environment.
The ATHENA+ Framework is designed to develop intellectual, physical, and social excellence through a purposeful blend of core academics, enrichment, and life skills.
At Masterminds, academics and life skills go hand in hand. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures students connect knowledge across subjects, apply it in real-world contexts, and develop the curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking to lead in an ever-changing world.
We emphasize face-to-face instruction and encourage deep thinking—moving beyond memorization to meaningful understanding and personal engagement.
Our teachers are not just instructors—they are expert guides and lifelong mentors who inspire confidence, curiosity and personal growth.
