Building Great Minds Together

What Is A Great Mind?

Inquisitive
A Great Mind is curious and asks questions. It has a natural desire to understand the world around and how things work. This curiosity fuels exploration and discovery.
Logical
A Great Mind can think analytically and follow a clear line of reasoning. It can break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts and identify cause-and-effect relationships.
Deals with difficult issues
A Great Mind does not shy away from challenges. It can grapple with complex situations, weigh evidence, and come up with creative solutions.
Elegantly processes new information
A Great Mind efficiently takes in new information, analyzes it, and stores it in a way that allows it to retrieve and use it effectively.
Communicates complex topics
A Great Mind can take its understanding of complex ideas and explain them clearly to others, regardless of the other person's background. This makes their ideas accessible and impactful.
Thinks!
This might seem obvious, but a Great Mind is constantly thinking, analyzing, and making connections. It doesn't just accept things at face value; it actively thinks critically about the world.

Care

Great Teachers care about their students and create a safe and supportive learning environment. This allows students to feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and exploring new ideas without fear of judgment.

Who Helps You Develop A Great Mind? Great Teachers!

Push

Great Teachers don't let their students settle for mediocrity. They challenge them to think critically, go beyond their comfort zones, and reach their full potential. This "push" can be through introducing complex topics,  or assigning challenging projects.

Mentor

Great Teachers go beyond just teaching content: they mentor their students. They offer guidance, support, and encouragement as students navigate the challenges of learning and growing. This mentorship can be especially important during difficult times or when a student may be struggling in some way.

Inspire

Great Teachers ignite a passion for learning in their students. They make learning exciting and relevant, and they show students the power of knowledge. This inspiration can motivate students to keep learning long after they leave the classroom.

Are great!

It almost goes without saying, but Great Teachers have Great Minds! Students learn best by example, and seeing a teacher who is passionate, knowledgeable, and constantly learning can rub off on them.

How Do You Develop A Great Mind

Wrestling with Big Ideas
Great Minds aren't afraid to tackle complex questions about the world, existence, or humanity. By grappling with these big ideas, we force students to think critically, analyze evidence, and come up with their own interpretations. This "wrestling" strengthens intellectual muscles and helps develop a more nuanced understanding of the world.
Sharing and Communicating Thoughts Logically and Clearly
The ability to express your ideas clearly and logically is essential for a Great Mind.  It is only then can you communicate your thoughts effectively, participate in meaningful conversations, influence others, and learn from their perspectives.
Studying Great Works
When you delve into Great works of literature, philosophy, science, or art, you're exposed to the best thinking on a variety of topics. You encounter different perspectives, complex arguments, and creative solutions to problems. This exposure broadens your knowledge, challenges your assumptions, and teaches you new ways of thinking.
Talking About Hard Issues
Discussing challenging topics with others pushes your thinking further. You have to be able to articulate your ideas clearly, defend your positions with evidence, and consider alternative viewpoints. This open exchange exposes you to different perspectives and strengthens your ability to think critically and communicate effectively.
