Vision and Mission
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Unknown
Many students learn a variety of topics throughout their education, but few learn the art of learning itself. Countless students struggle through schooling, using all their effort to keep their heads above water, not understanding what they easily could and should, and not reaching their full potential—all because they haven't learned what learning strategies work well for them. That is not a recipe for emotional or educational success.I started Frontier Thinking with the goal of helping students become independent learners. I wanted to create a brand and a name that can grow beyond my efforts into something more. One that can be associated with promoting quality learning, curiosity, and wonder.I have found a genuine enjoyment for learning as I've understood how to learn properly. I seek to create that enjoyment in others by focusing on understanding, fun topics, and effective learning strategies.
