Educating Innovation

The Cajal Academy Blog

Welcome to our blog!

When we set out to create Cajal Academy, we soon discovered that more than just a ‘tweak’ was needed to align the traditional educational system with all scientists now know about the human brain, its connections to the body, and how children learn and experience the world. That’s why we are founded as a non-profit organization with a dual mission: to develop new educational models, and apply them in a flagship school.

We’ll use this space to share more about our program and the science behind it as we grow. Please sign up for our newsletter below to get our updates!
