Welcome to our monthly newsletter. This month, we continue to proudly highlight our students' achievements, including Sandro's remarkable journey to Harvard University. We're also excited to announce our exclusive May Book Club featuring an award-winning author who will engage directly with Grade 3-6 studentsāa rare intellectual opportunity with limited spaces.
You can also take a break from the current heavy new cycle and discover surprising twists and inspiring stories in the newest season of our acclaimed "Behind the Brain" podcast. What unexpected paths did our faculty travel before Brain Power? Tune in to uncover the fascinating journeys that shaped these brilliant mindsāyou'll be amazed at what a bit of inspiration can do!
Meet Sandro: From Brain Power to Harvard University!
Sandro is Harvard-bound! We were thrilled that Sandro, a Brain Power student for seven years, beat the odds and was admitted to Harvard University. This is a stellar achievementāHarvard has a daunting 3% acceptance rate.
What impresses us isn't just Sandroās academic brilliance but also his profound sense of purpose. Since he was 13, he's lived with and cared for his grandmother who has Alzheimer's. Instead of seeing this as just a family responsibility, he transformed it into scientific motivation, co-authoring a research review for the Toronto Science Fair and connecting with University of Toronto's medical longevity researchers. If you want to learn more about Sandroāand the steps he took to gain admission to Harvardāvisit this link to read our LinkedIn article about Sandro.
Weāre so proud to have played a role in fostering Sandroās academic development. At Brain Power, we helped transform Sandro's raw talent through our advanced mathematics and language arts programs, while his dedication at day school reinforced his growth. Our CEO Vanessa and University Admissions lead Dr. Ryan supported his application process. The powerful combination of grit, talent, and enrichment developed the exceptional critical thinking and analytical precision that Harvard recognized in his application.
Congratulations, Sandro! Harvard is fortunate to have you, just as we are fortunate to have taken part in your journey.
Meet Michu: Our Piano Prodigy who rocked Massey Hall!
Join us in congratulating Michu, Language Arts student and music superstar! Michu, a student in the Foundations 2 level of our Language Arts program, is an extremely talented pianist and all-around music aficionado. In December, Michu even performed at Massey Hall during St. Michaelās Choir Schoolās annual Christmas concert. Michu is also thriving in his Language Arts class, and he shared these thoughts on his time at Brain Power:
"My experience at Brain Power has been absolutely amazingādefinitely a ten out of ten! Everyone there is super friendly, and Iāve learned so many valuable skills, including expanding my vocabulary, improving reading comprehension, refining my writing, and mastering grammar. We do get a lot of homework, which might sound challenging, but it actually helps us learn even more! If you're looking for a great place to enhance your learning, I highly recommend Brain Power!"
Thank you for the kind words, Michu, and congratulations on all your success, both academic and musical!
Meet William: York Regionās top Lego Robotics champ!
Say hello to William, Brain Power student and robotics expert! William is currently enjoying the Elementary 1 level of Language Arts. Recently, William and his teammates competed in the Lego Robotics Competition and won first place in the whole York Region District School Board (Junior Category). What an impressive feat! Hereās what William has to say about his experience at Brain Power:
āI like Brain Power because it gives me various challenges, which have helped me learn to stay calm during tough situations, and taught me how to solve the problems during those situations. Brain Power also helped me improve my collaborative skills.ā
Those collaborative skills certainly paid off in the robotics competition! Way to go, William!
