At Quad Prep, we believe that learning should be ceilingless and personalized. 

We combine collaborative classroom experiences with guaranteed 1:1 sessions between students and teachers, tailoring instruction to each child’s academic strengths, interests, and learning style. Mixed-age classrooms and seminars allow for well-matched seminar groups and schedules allow for movement between grades and classes.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) and related clinical services are woven throughout our curriculum and all aspects of our students’ days. Our collaborative cross-disciplinary teaching teams feature academic and specialty teachers as well as clinically trained psychosocial teachers who partner with clinicians to implement personalized strategies for students. Students requiring additional academic support work with our team of learning specialists.

Our 2e curriculum allows students to more deeply explore their extraordinary interests and passions as they mature through student-driven learning, diverse electives, enrichment programs, and opportunities with cultural and educational resources in New York City.

Developed in-house, Quad Prep's 2e Executive Functioning Program provides daily opportunities for students to develop essential skills in organization, planning, and time management. Over the course of this K-12 program, students begin to self-identify areas of individual challenge and learn to advocate for themselves.

At Quad Prep, we make sure that we deliver on the promise of partnership with families. We protect time and schedule monthly meetings with parents and any outside professionals or family who are involved in your child’s educational journey in order to collaborate with each other to best support our students.

The development of 2e students is asynchronous—their intellectual abilities may out pace their social, emotional, or executive functioning skills. They are best served by a learning environment with embedded flexibility. From choices in seating, to learning spaces of all sizes, our team creates possibilities for the perfect setting to learn in. Every inch of our campuses are possible learning spaces to allow each student to have the just right place to learn.

As a twice-exceptional school since 2013, Quad Prep teachers and clinicians have pioneered the specialized Quad Prep practices that make our 2e students thrive. Experienced staff mentor and train new staff and all staff receive personalized professional development. We have a unique supervisory and coaching program, and we invest in the professional development of each of our teachers and clinicians to keep current with educational and clinical practices. In addition to staff development weeks before each school year and ongoing professional development throughout the year, Quad Prep hosts an annual national conference, Breakthroughs in Twice-Exceptional Futures, where educators, clinicians, specialists, families, and advocates of neurodiverse schools and futures come to learn and be a part of the broader conversation on neuroinclusivity.
