Our full time online primary school homeschooling program provides an alternative option to traditional schooling for parents in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean. The program focuses on building the foundation for students in the core areas of Mathematics, Creative Writing, Language Arts, Science, Spanish, Social – Studies, Reading and Penmanship. 

Modern Minds Academy has been educating homeschoolers for almost a decade. We are not just an online school, we understand and cater to the needs of homeschooling families.

Our aim is to develop life long learners not just prepare students for the S.E.A. exam. Our program focuses on preparing students for CXC exams at a much earlier age by building the foundation in areas which will give them the advantage of developing critical thinking skills in an environment that is comfortable for them, where they can learn at their own pace. 

Additionally, we have regular socialization activities further enhancing our homeschool program. Our high performance football academy also gives students the opportunity to pursue a career in that field! As of May 2026, our football academy now has a partnership program with clubs in Portugal and Spain allowing our footballers the opportunity to have a career in football outside of Trinidad and Tobago.

Our program also caters to neurodiverse students, ensuring all students are welcomed and have the opportunity to be educated in a safe environment.

I highly recommend Modern Minds Academy. Miss Leela Balkaran is an excellent principal and teacher. She assisted my daughter who is homeschool and was relatively young sitting CSEC exams between the age of 14 and 16 to get grades 2. Thank you Miss Leela Balkaran.

I received my passes for the subjects I did at Modern Minds Academy. Classes are recorded, notes are easily accessible and understandable and the teachers are always ready to come to your aid when you need help. If you want a good pass, I highly recommend choosing Modern Minds Academy.

I had always heard about this lessons from other people or on Facebook, and when my cousin told me how he as well went this lessons and was failing at mathematics in school he ended up passing even when he thought he couldn’t, and now I as well have passed when I had doubts. I just wanna say thanks to Ms. Balkaran for helping us and even giving up her time to teach and help us, we couldn’t have done it without her.

My son struggled with maths bad, he was never able to make a grade over 20 in his end of term exams and after sending him to lessons with Ms Balkaran for only 1year in form 5, I’m pleased to say that he actually passed maths in his CSEC exams. No exaggeration , I couldn’t believe this, I’m pleased and grateful. Thank you.

Excellent institution for academic and personal development! I had the opportunity to attend, and my improvement in various subject areas was exceptionally better than any school could offer. Tutors bring years of experience and a passion for educating in their willingness to work with students’ various challenges. Even years later they continue to build on their already strong reputation, whilst also spearheading digitalization and modernisation of education.

Hi everyone….being part of the experience with Modern Mind Academy is a great and enjoyable adventure. Over the years this hiking group which is made up of students, parents, friends and the Tutor, there’s never a dull moment. Fun, safety, together and always a delight. ….Love this Academy for being well rounded. I’m giving this a 5 star…..
