“I really appreciate your loving heart and all your efforts to mentor my daughter through this process. I hope you know how much of a positive impact you have had on her. As a mom, I’m grateful for this. You are an incredibly devoted teacher and guide to your students. Your work is needed and making a difference.”

“The micro-school is built around diversity and inclusion. Teachers, students, and parents work together to create a sense of community and growth for everyone. Great Minds focuses on strengths and builds on success. Students learn how to harness their strengths to help overcome challenges. They are encouraged to lend their strengths to others (versus judge people on their shortcomings). The result is students with self-confidence who know how to be authentic to themselves and how to connect and accept others as who they are. “

“Great Minds Learning Community has been a great fit for 2e daughter. Deanne is positive, patient, flexible, and meets the students where they’re at while also scaffolding them to stretch just beyond their comfort zones. After two years at Great Minds, I’ve noticed a lot of social-emotional growth in my daughter, especially with perspective taking and flexibility. Great Minds Learning Community is a strengths-based school, with student input, so students usually find a way to include their passions in their work. We highly recommend Great Minds Learning Community for twice-exceptional students.”

“We are so grateful to you and Great Minds for the wonderful growth experience he has had this year. I will continue to recommend GMLC to our GT and 2e friends.”

“We have always felt so welcomed as part of the GMLC tribe. You have created an important, nurturing, educational community.”

“We have seen wonderful social and academic growth in our daughter during her first year with PBL (project-based learning) and are happy to have found a place where she can grow and be happy.”
