  The Quad Preparatory School is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit independent college-preparatory school for Twice Exceptional (2e) Learners in grades K-12. 2e students are are intensely creative, gifted and curious who also learn differently.

Our learning environment is flexible and fully integrates rigorous and project-based academics with best clinical practice for autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety and mood conditions and other learning disabilities. Our 1:1 teaching in all Core Academic areas allows for a truly individualized education and for differentiation of both gifts and challenges. The Quad actively seeks to promote inclusion both in and outside its learning environments in creative ways and fully immerses parents, caregivers and outside providers in the learning experience for each student.
