The ATHENA+ Framework at Masterminds VIP

At Masterminds VIP Dubai, the ATHENA+ Framework is our proprietary whole-child learning model, guiding every aspect of education for students aged 6–14. Rooted in neuroscience, academic research, and real-world application, ATHENA+ develops intellectual excellence, physical vitality, and social confidence—preparing students for long-term success.
A Whole-Child Framework for the Primary & Middle Years
ATHENA+ is designed to nurture excellence across multiple dimensions of development. Rather than focusing solely on academics, the framework integrates intellectual rigor, physical engagement, and social-emotional growth—aligning learning with how the brain develops during the primary and middle years.

At Masterminds VIP Dubai, ATHENA+ is embedded into daily instruction, enrichment, and student life, ensuring consistent, purposeful development.

Three Pillars of Student Development

Intellectual Excellence
Advanced literacy, mathematical reasoning, interdisciplinary learning, and public speaking build deep understanding, analytical thinking, and academic confidence.
Physical Excellence
Purposeful movement, coordination, and physical engagement strengthen focus, resilience, and brain-body integration—essential for sustained learning.
Social Excellence
Students develop emotional intelligence, collaboration skills, leadership, and self-awareness through structured social learning and reflection.

Mastery-Based Learning in Small Groups

Neuroscience meets experience

At Masterminds VIP Dubai, students learn in micro-groups of just 5–6 learners, allowing teachers to personalize instruction and ensure mastery before progression. This approach builds confidence, reduces learning gaps, and supports long-term retention.

Multilingual Fluency & Cultural Intelligence

The ATHENA+ framework

Language learning is a core component of cognitive flexibility. Students at Masterminds VIP Dubai receive daily instruction in English alongside French and Arabic, with a choice of Spanish or Russian, supporting memory, communication, and global awareness.

→ Daily multilingual exposure
→ Language integrated into real-world contexts
→ Cultural literacy embedded across subjects

Designed Specifically for Ages 6–14

Rooted in Research. Refined Through Practice.

Mentors for life

The ATHENA+ Framework integrates neuroscience insights, academic research, and decades of educational practice. This balanced approach equips students with the intellectual tools, emotional resilience, and adaptability needed to thrive in a complex, evolving world.
