Founder, Dr. Peter Bergethon, is a distinguished neurologist, accomplished scientist, and respected professor. During the same period when he was actively engaged in teaching a graduate program, he recognized a critical need for science education at the elementary level, particularly as his own daughter’s teachers faced challenges in this area.
It was at this juncture that Dr. Bergethon had a pivotal revelation. He saw an opportunity to impart foundational scientific knowledge to elementary school children, sharing the fundamental principles he wished many of his graduate students had possessed. SymmetryLearningSystems aims to equip the next generation with a solid understanding of science could alleviate the struggles and frustrations often associated with science learning, he resolved to take action.
With a deep commitment to nurturing future science enthusiasts, Dr. Bergethon embarked on the journey of establishing SLS. He set out to craft a comprehensive curriculum that would empower young minds to approach science with curiosity and skepticism.
Dr. Bergethon brought together a dedicated team including educators, neuroscientists, and business leaders to help shape the future of SLS. Together, they laid the foundation for an organization dedicated to inspiring and nurturing the next generation of science enthusiasts.

"As a teacher in public education, the Symmetry boxes were both academically challenging while still sparking curiosity in students. The Symmetry system is the perfect solution for all types of learning styles and ability levels."
“There is a genuine need, beginning at the elementary level, for learning experiences that lay a solid foundation for scientific literacy and critical thinking across disciplines. SymmetryLearningSystems engage learners in ways of thinking that inspire evidence based understanding and informed decisions. Anyone conscientiously looking for enriching science education should consider SymmetryLearningSystems."
"We love the supplemental value of this program. Our son stayed engaged throughout, as the curriculum was enjoyable to follow while providing progressive challenges. Afterwards, I could tell that my son used problem solving approaches that are far beyond what he had learned through the public school system."
