IN-PERSON POSITION

You may know us as a modern schoolhouse, but we’re way more than just basic classrooms. We’re a community, a solution, a mindset. Like most schools, we’re big on learning, but we believe that how each one of us learns is unique. No two minds are exactly the same - and that’s the way we like it! We’re not in the business of testing and uniformity. We prefer to focus on pairing passion with purpose to facilitate personal growth and build practical life skills. We’re a community center, a kitchen, a studio, and more often than not, a dance party. Most importantly, we’re a space where everyone’s invited to be their fullest self and learn how they learn.

Space of Mind was founded in 2004 as a private coaching company guiding stressed out families. While working along clients in homes, schools and on-the-go, founder Ali Kaufman quickly came to realize that school was the main stressor in most households. After achieving a level of success helping students and their parents create productive homework, time management and clutter management strategies, Ali began working with teachers, guidance counselors and school teams to help translate that success into the classroom.

Frustrated with the lack of flexibility within the traditional school system to meet students’ individual needs, Ali started her own social homeschool program in September, 2010 with just three students in her living room. Quickly, that group grew, and by the time SOM moved into the historic Clarke House (circa 1896) in Downtown Delray Beach in April, 2011, there were eight students!
