Mission Statement

The Learning Science Guild (LSG), an early-stage non-profit 501(c) organization, exists to empower teenagers, young adults, and intellectually curious learners who face educational barriers. We cultivate deep learning, digital minimalism, and authentic human connection. Through mentorship, after-school programs, and AI-enhanced tools rooted in cognitive science, we prepare students not just to survive in a changing world, but to shape it with wisdom, agency, and resilience.

1. Core Pillars

A. Learning That Sticks

• Grounded in evidence-based learning strategies and growth mindset principles.
• Tools and curriculum emphasize retrieval, spaced practice, and metacognition.

• Community-based cohorts foster peer accountability and resilience.
• Celebrate effort, progress, and personal growth over natural ability.

C. Digital Minimalism & Deep Focus

• Curriculum encourages analog tools (journals, whiteboards, nature walks) alongside digital resources.
• Teaches attention management as a survival skill.
• Persistence through difficulty builds mental stamina.

D. Future-Ready with AI

• Students learn to collaborate with AI (not just consume it).
• Custom-built AI-enhanced learning tools (e.g., Leitner chatbot system).
