“We turn the serious science of building healthy minds into serious fun.”
Our Programs
Our programs are designed to be layered or stand-alone. You may do one program or all simultaneously. In our NeuroStrategic Study Program, you may meet with your study strategist as many days as you would like. Repetition is key to building your brain superpowers. Sculpting your own brain takes effort, but when it works, it feels so good when things come easier to you. When you swim down river rather than up river, you have more power and ease to do what you want to do.

This program is designed to help you naturally sculpt your brain toward learning better and performing better on schoolwork and tests. We cannot promise you results, but as in life, trying new things can lead to amazing results. You and your study strategist work together virtually 50 minutes a week while you are completing your schoolwork at home. Your study strategist will prime your brain to be at its peak for receiving, processing and remembering school coursework material and skills learned during your regular study times. The program is designed to transform you into your own study strategist. When you have the power to optimize your own academic learning and performance, you have greater power to reach your goals even if one of them is more free time. Students can sign up for as many days of the week as they wish for our NeuroStrategic Study program.

Meet with 4 other students around your age for 75 minutes after school each week to discover your brain superpowers. We designed this time to help you strengthen your brain superpowers toward what you most want and toward what your parents most want. Parents, this service is designed to build brain prowess, agility and flow toward better attention and focus, better emotional intelligence, better problem-solving and critical thinking, better social intelligence and empathy, better planning and organization, better self-awareness and self-regulation, better leadership and collaboration.

We designed this time to help you strengthen your brain superpowers toward what you most want and what your parents most want. Parents, this service is designed to build brain prowess, agility and flow toward better attention and focus, better emotional intelligence, better problem-solving and critical thinking, better social intelligence and empathy, better planning and organization, better self-awareness and self-regulation, better leadership and collaboration.

“A robust autonomic nervous system is the foundation. A sharp executive functioning network is the cornerstone. Your NeuroCognitive architecture hinges on these two potentials. So, why would you not build from the ground up.”
Dr. Krista Swanson and her team at the NeuroSphere Academy offer you the brain self-knowledge and brain training you’ll need to optimize your NeuroCognitive prowess, agility, flow and resilience over your lifespan.
NeuroCognitive Excellence Curricula
Our Mission
When it comes to children, tweens and teens, NeuroSphere Academy's mission is to empower individuals through personalized, natural brain training. We turn the serious science of building healthy minds into serious fun. We foster the development of the integrated brain, so as to best nurture the success and well-being of generations.
Program Features
-
Our NeuroCognitive Technology
integrates the leading advances in neuroscience to enhance your child's brain function, fostering improved learning, and cognitive performance.
-
Our NeuroExecutive Technology
is designed to optimize executive functioning, that is the brain functions supporting our ability to focus and shift focus, to plan and organize, to sequence steps, to initiate a task, to monitor our progress on that task and complete that task, to inhibit unwanted behavior and to control our emotions, to effectively use our working memory to hold an idea while we analyze and manipulate that idea.
-
Our NeuroAutonomicTechnology
leverages neuroscientific advances in the powers of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to ready us to learn, perform and relate to others. The ANS regulates emotions, attention, and our automatic response to stress or threat, helps us to maintain optimal arousal levels (homeostasis) during awake states and sleeping states.
-
Our NeuroAchievement Technology
strategically harnesses the top neuroscientific advances in the field of human achievement. Our Curricula content and methodology are designed to optimize motivation and stamina, the drive in individuals for greater success in learning, performance and relationships.
-
Our NeuroSensoriMotor Technology
builds the crucial integration of the brain and the nervous system connections throughout the body. As a critical component of our instruction and training, individuals optimize their ability to self-regulate attentional, learning, emotional, and performance states in various environments.
-
The neuroscience of utilizing the visual arts and movement to internalize the concepts and deepen skills enriches your improvement and increases the sustainability of that improvement in your performance across areas. You are welcomed to design and build your own 3D tools (or have us build them for you) that will help you apply all the technologies of the curricula ongoing.
-
Neuro-education is the educational science term for a pedagogy (a method of teaching) which applies all of what we know about how the brain learns). NeuroEducation is our term for our pedagogy. We innovate off of the top advances in the neuroscience of education to improve the way the brain learns and performs. We will conduct research on our outcomes.
Krista Swanson, PhD
“She has the best clinical training and skills of any psychologist that we have had in the 30 years that I have worked here.”
Dr. Krista Swanson, a distinguished pediatric, developmental and licensed clinical psychologist, is a pioneer in applying neuroscience to optimize the interpersonal neurophysiological (relational brain+body biological) health of individuals from infancy through adulthood.
Our NeuroCognitive Excellence instruction and training is an investment in your child’s present and future brain potential.
A robust autonomic nervous system is the very foundation of lifelong success in learning, performance and relationships. Brilliant executive functioning grows from a strong, adaptable autonomic nervous system. Your children build authentic confidence and self-leadership by mastering their challenges and gaining insight into their brain superpowers. We make the building of healthy autonomic, executive and self-leadership internal systems the adventure of a lifetime.

-
Not only do we harness your innate curiosity, our technology is designed to enhance it. Innovating from the neuroscience of motivation, each curricular module consists of its own theme and set of brain integration exercises. So, in our instruction and training and beyond, you'll always have something novel and exciting to look forward to.
-
Our curricula direct you to harness the power of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain. We guide you to support the neural pathways that lead to better performance across all areas of your life. Think of it as athletic training, but for the brain.
-
An Integrated Brain
is flexible, adaptable, stable, full or energy and functions in a way that makes sense. Our Curricula are designed to optimize the integration of the brain in ways that will sustain brain integration throughout a lifetime.

Where potential meets opportunity.
Grow Authentic Confidence
Each curricular module affords your children the opportunity to embrace new challenges. Through hands-on learning, self-mastery, and gains in self-awareness, children build creative problem solving muscle. Each of these elements is foundational to growing a strong sense of self.
Fortify Self-Leadership
Essential to our NeuroExcellence Curriculum is the relationship-with-self building methodology. As children discover and reinforce their strengths and capacities through supportive just-the-right-fit challenges, a bedrock of knowing and relying on oneself is formed. All of this leads to what we call balanced, self-directed lives. When you elegantly lead yourself, you are in the position to best lead others.
