Space of Mind - Delray Beach, Florida

I don't have kids at the school, but I've been to several events at the Hub of Space of Mind, and I am obsessed! My absolute favorites are the cooking classes with Chef Deb, where you can whip up dishes from around the world—everything from spicy Thai to Spanish Tapas. They even have fun, music-themed cookbook adventures. The space itself is super welcoming and encourages creativity, inviting you to touch, play and bring out your inner child. They also elevate the experience by partnering with local chefs and restaurants for their Chef's Table dinner series, offering a fantastic chance to get up close and personal with some of the best chefs in town—all while supporting their nonprofit, the Community Classroom Project. The staff members are so positive and encouraging, and I can only imagine how amazing it would be to attend school there!!!

Space of Mind has been a great fit for my daughter. The coaches are genuinely involved and take the time to connect with each child, creating an environment where they feel supported. I appreciate that it’s not just about academics, but about creating a safe, welcoming space where kids can grow.
The personalized curriculum has been a standout for us—it feels tailored to my daughter’s strengths and areas where she needs more attention. I also really like how they mix subjects in unexpected ways, like art and biology, which keeps things interesting and helps kids see connections between different areas of learning.
Another big plus is their focus on life skills and social-emotional learning. It’s clear they’re not just preparing kids for tests but for life. Ali, the owner, is always thinking ahead, and it shows in the school’s innovative programs. I’m grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my daughter.

Space of Mind has truly transformed our son’s life. The teachers are some of the most caring and dedicated people we’ve ever met, and their unique approach to teaching is just perfect for kids. They go above and beyond to make each child feel welcomed and included. Since starting there, our son has become more social, engaged, and challenged in all the right ways—and he absolutely loves it! After trying so many other schools, Space of Mind is where Ali finally feels at home. We are so grateful and would recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for a special place for their child.

Space of Mind has been amazing for my two sons. They have been nothing but accepting, and both of my children have been able to be their authentic selves without judgement or criticism. The staff is compassionate and does a wonderful job of meeting each child’s individual needs. They take the time to listen and learn about the students interests and incorporate it into their learning every step of the way. The environment is unbeatable! I am extremely grateful I found the school and have been able to be apart of the SOM community!

Space of mind is a one of a kind school!! This is our son’s third year there. He gets amazing personalized attention and has grown tremendously since he has started. The teachers and staff are the schools greatest asset. If you are looking for a different approach to learning for your child, I highly recommend you consider this school!

I can't say enough good things about Ali and Space of Mind. Ali's super power is making learning interesting and unleashing self-motivation in children.

Ali just helped my daughter with her college applications. Having been through this process with her two older sisters before I knew of Ali, I was amazed by the difference. Ali helped turn a mundane process into a fun and powerful journey of self-discovery for my daughter.

Getting a teen to speak up can be an effort but Ali inspired such self confidence that my daughter couldn't wait to tell me all about everything throughout the application process.

Space of Mind is a very unique learning space unlike any other. It is unadulterated education and what learning environments are supposed to be.

Our family has benefited from Space of Mind in many ways. Our youngest son has been at the school for three years. He is now starting his fourth year as a middle school student. Space of Mind has the most amazing approach to education and growth of the whole child. They aren’t just teaching the required subjects. They are educating the whole child. Children learn how to be a nice friend, how to work through the daily challenges of being a kid, how to teach others, how to help your community, and they do this in the most creative, loving way. The teachers are absolutely amazing!

Our older son worked with Ali for college prep last year. She walked him through every step of the process. My husband and I didn’t have to fight with him on deadlines and requirements. Ali stayed on top of him and made sure everything was complete. She also took the opportunity to teach him some of the writing skills he would need to be successful in college. She actually had him apply to a school that wasn’t on our radar, and that is the school he is now attending this year!

SOM is the model for the future of education. We are so thankful we found it!

An amazing space for teaching, learning, and bringing community together. Their afterschool programming is top notch. The community events throughout the year bring together the students, coaches and community that every little town in the country should have. A true scholastic gem of Delray Beach.
