Discovery Academy is our private school extension that combines neurodevelopmental therapy, academic instruction, and neurofeedback for students needing both cognitive intervention and academic support. Discovery Academy is an intelligence based school designed to catch students up quickly, effectively, and will be rolled out in its entirety the fall of 2026 on Discovery Ranch.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is an evidence-based brain training technique that helps improve focus, attention, memory, and emotional regulation. It benefits students in Mind Recovery (Adults), Discovery Academy (School), and those needing extra support, though it’s typically not used for younger students due to attention demands. Using real-time brainwave monitoring, progress is tracked with data-driven metrics, and results are integrated with cognitive and neurodevelopmental therapy to help students reach their full academic, cognitive, and emotional potential.
