Our exclusive curriculum helps our students soar beyond ABC’s and 123’s into active critical thinking.
Children gain comprehension through interactive learning journeys rather than memorization, exploring ‘how’ and ‘why,’ and developing life-long learning advantages.
The best way to see what we do is to come see for yourself. We believe you will clearly see what makes Cranium Academy so special! Please contact us to schedule a tour of either our Winter Garden – Windermere or East Orlando (near Lake Nona) locations today.

Traditional school curriculum is centered around teaching all children in a class the same skills. Cranium Academy was founded to solve this problem. We test and monitor students throughout the year while providing a custom learning path for each child that is integrated into their reading and math learning journeys throughout each day.
In addition to advanced reading and math, Cranium Academy offers our exclusive Cranium Explorers program featuring Montessori type critical thinking lesson plans that cover the four scientific domains: life, earth, physical and process science. Through Cranium Explorers, children build creativity, focus, communication, confidence, critical thinking and cognitive skills while exploring topics such as:
Students not only learn about the weather, they become junior meteorologists who can predict the climate using critical thinking skills.

At Cranium Academy, students go beyond ‘what’ to explore ‘how’ and ‘why,’ discovering a true love of learning along the way.
