Journey2Genius was created by Natalie Grant after recognizing that her 4-year-old son was a nontraditional learner. She researched and developed a set of curricula that transformed his learning experience, helping him rise from one of the lowest reading groups in kindergarten to graduating high school with a 4.4 GPA as well as graduating from UC Davis, earning a B.A. degree.

Natalie’s methods not only supported her son’s success but also proved effective for the students she taught in her own class, many of whom showed significant academic and social growth.
