How Arrowsmith Works
The brain’s ability to change and our understanding of the principles of neuroplasticity is what allows Arrowsmith to change brains and transform lives.
Arrowsmith’s Cognitive Exercises, tapping into the brain's neuroplastic nature, strengthen neural pathways changing our students’ ability to learn to read, write, do math, comprehend, reason, think critically, be empathetic and engage in meaningful ways.
By addressing the source of the difficulty, our students improve their ability to perform complex tasks. Students are able to redefine their future, living with greater independence, confidence, and sense of accomplishment. Healthy self-confidence based on real-world competence develops.
Arrowsmith has the neuroplasticity of the brain and our students’ lifelong successes at the forefront of our program.
