Founded in 1990, Driven by Family

Great Minds Secondary School was founded by the owner's grandmother, whose personal passion for ensuring every child went to school grew into a commitment to educate the broader community. Her belief endures today: quality education must be accessible to all children, at a fraction of the cost typically charged by others.
