Global Education Leader MindChamps Announces Entry Into US Market With Exclusive DMV Partnership

MindChamps, a global leader in early childhood education known for redefining learning standards worldwide, has announced its entry into the U.S. market through an Exclusive State Partnership for Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia with longtime Loudoun County resident and business executive Matthew Vandermast.

This partnership introduces MindChamps’ award-winning, research-backed curriculum to the country and region. MindChamps is the only early learning brand with a patented education methodology across three countries - the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.

Grounded in 27 years of multidisciplinary research spanning Education, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Theater, the MindChamps model has earned global recognition. NY Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Dr. Joseph A. Michelli has described MindChamps as “the Global Education Movement of the 21st Century.”

“In an AI-dominated world, the old model of content and rote thinking is broken,” said David Chiem, Founder CEO & Chairman of MindChamps PreSchool. “It’s time to turn education upside down. When we nurture resilience, creativity, and compassion from the start, we will raise a generation that will thrive in an unpredictable world in ways we cannot even imagine. We’re honored to bring this breakthrough approach to the U.S., starting with the DMV.”

Founded as a research center in Sydney in 1998, MindChamps was built around Chiem’s vision of closing the widening gap between traditional education systems and the future world children will face. Its patented 3-Mind education model - nurturing the Champion Mind, the Learning Mind, and the Creative Mind - equips children with the mindset and skills to become confident, compassionate, and future-ready individuals.

Vandermast, whose children were educated in Northern Virginia, said the decision to bring MindChamps to the region was immediate once he visited several centers in Singapore. “The caliber of students stood out instantly,” he said. “Their eloquence, emotional intelligence, and confidence were unlike anything I’ve seen in early education. I knew we needed this in the DMV.”

MindChamps, headquartered in Singapore, operates centers across Singapore, Australia, and Southeast Asia. The expansion into the DMV represents a significant milestone in the organization’s long-term strategy to make its transformative early learning model accessible to families across the United States.
