Genius Trail

Uncover your child's inner genius

Our Educational Philosophy

We Believe...

As we follow the trail of educating our own children, we would like to share our experiences with other parents. We are creating Genius Trail, a resource for parents who want to instill a love for learning in their children by highlighting high quality educational resources – on the go and at home.

Hands-On

People learn best by hands-on experiences. (We love books, don't get us wrong!)

Learn from Experts

The world is full of teachers. Learning from experts in their field of expertise is invaluable.

Push the Envelope

Kids can amaze you if you give them the freedom to take on challenges outside of the norm.

Dig Deeper

Schools only have so much time to devote to each subject. We can dive down the rabbit hole!

Cape May Zoo

Trips

A wonderful south Jersey zoo that is completely free to visit. We have been there many times! This is a great half-day destination for the whole family.

Zoo

Rutgers Geology Museum

Trips

Located in the historic Queens Campus section of Rutgers, this is another completely free half-day activity. Combined with a stroll through the College Ave campus, this is a great day out.

Museum

Waterloo Village

Trips

This was once an awesome place to go, with live interpretations. The museum went bankrupt years ago, but the buildings and scenery remain. Still worth a trip with the family, though.

Historic

Shippen Manor

Trips

It has limited hours, but is well worth visiting when it's open. It hosts Civil War encampments and historic weekends.

Historic
