| The parents of our young students were eager to develop their computer skills at home as well as on the job. To address the growing need for personalized adult computer literacy training, FUTUREKIDS created course offerings designed specifically for adults. These classes have been so well received that in some Learning Centers across the globe adults outnumber the children. |
| |
| The breadth of FUTUREKIDS success results from a unique teaching philosophy: students of all ages learn best in an interactive, creative environment that enables them to explore, challenge and discover. Our students, regardless of the learning environment, receive hands-on instruction at the computer and are grouped into small classes to ensure a high level of personalized attention. |
| |
| Another key to our success is that we make technology relevant to people's everyday lives. Integrated, theme-based projects require students to use higher analytical thinking skills as well as the full range of the computer's capability. |
