Minority Brains are on the rise. Children who are more visual-spatial, tactile learners are losing out in the traditional schools that rely heavily on lecture, paper-pencil, drill approach to instruction. this approach was introduced during the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Now in the 21st century we expect 21st century students to be excited and hungry for learning using these archaic methods.

At Swank Educational Academy we teach to the individual mind, the individual learner, using 21st century tools. We allow the child to show us their talent and their way of doing things. We learn from the child and by doing that we are able to facilitate the child's hunger for more learning.
