About Brain Highways
In 1999, Brain Highways began as a small, pilot program at Paul Ecke Elementary School in Encinitas, California. Funded by a Wells Fargo Bank grant, the initial goal was to find a common thread that explained why so many of today’s kids were struggling.
Positive results from that first pilot program led to other public school administrators’ requests for Brain Highways training for their teachers. For the next five years, the Brain Highways program was only available in public schools in San Diego’s North County.
In 2004, the Brain Highways Center opened so that entire families can benefit from the program. Here, moms and dads learn how to facilitate brain organization and apply brain research to their parenting. Best of all, the Center is a hub where parents and their kids have a blast as they participate in a myriad of brain-related activities.
Since the Center first opened its doors, over 4,000 local families have participated in our core and enrichment programs. Recently, we started offering a Brain Highways Intensive Program for families outside of San Diego County. Program participants have come from different counties within the state, as well other states and countries.
To meet the ongoing demand from those outside of San Diego County, we now additionally offer the Brain Highways Online Program.
