Excellent assessment experience! We had a wonderful experience at our assessment with Lemi! I feel so much clearer on exactly what skills my daughter already has, what she can work on and how we can work together to target those areas. My child really enjoyed the whole thing and told me she is looking forward to more.

The Critical Thinking Child program did… The Critical Thinking Child program did absolute wonders for my daughter. She came into the program extremely shy. Ms. Lemi and her team worked with her and tailored a program that allowed her to blossom. The games and assessments pushed her to heights that surprised me. She was able to get into a Classical program on her first try. I recommend the books, games, puzzles, and the academic boot camps. Two thumbs up.

The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp class was an overall great experience for our family. Our daughter learned how to problem solve, extend patterns, and use critical thinking skills to enhance her already advanced reasoning. In addition, we parents learned strategies to use with her to help advance her reading, math, and critical thinking skills not only while actually doing the "homework" for class but also while participating in every day activities. She looked forward to (what she liked to call) her "Brain Games" class every week! Sidenote: She was accepted into our top choice CPS Regional Gifted Center program (even living in Tier 4!), and I'm sure part of it had to do with what we learned from The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp. Thank you, Ms. Lemi and staff!!

Critical Thinking Skills are life skills I put my son here because critical thinking to me is an important life skill. Unfortunately, not all schools focus on critical thinking skills. I also pay attention to my son's brain development. I read neuroscience books in my free time to help understand myself and my children. Decision making involves different areas of the brain. I choose enrichment programs for my son that I feel will develop these parts of the brain that will influence him to make important decisions as an adult. I am happy to be in Chicago because of this organization. I have recommended the online version to my friends in other states. The Critical Thinking Child is truly a Chicago gem so I tell everyone about it.
