Enhance the brain’s capacity to learn, online.
Kids & Teens (age 7-18)
At-home cognitive enhancement programs for kids and teens with learning and attention difficulties.
When kids and teens are struggling with activities like reading, mathematics, or problem solving, the pathways in their brain that process this information can be weak or overactive.
For some, this leads to mild learning and attention difficulties, and for others, more pronounced learning disabilities, like dyslexia or dyscalculia.
We offer 19 different Arrowsmith cognitive exercises that strengthen the specific pathways in the brain we use for learning, social skills, and more.
Most students start with the Symbol Relations cognitive exercise.
In this exercise, students work on their ability to understand the relationships among two or more concepts. This strengthens the pathways in the brain that support reasoning, information processing, executive functioning, attention control and working memory.

“Math is so much easier. I am learning the material much more quickly. When I read, I completely understand the book I am reading. I am now starting to think for myself instead of just agreeing with others. When I go back and re-watch movies I realize what I missed and now it makes sense and connects.”
“I’ve seen improvements in writing neater, spelling and math. I am also really, really happy because I have more fun with my friends because I understand everything better. Doing school work in general has become a lot easier. Before I would forget so many things and now I don’t. Arrowsmith has changed my life.”

The Half-Day online program is not intended to replace a child’s elementary or high school education environment. It is a supplement to address the root causes of the learning or attention difficulties that hold students back from reaching their potential. Students of school age will also need to register with a certified school to meet academic requirements in addition to taking our classes.
