ABOUT THE FOUNDERS GALA
At the Quad Prep Founder’s Gala, we invite sponsors, guests, and community members to “Be the Spark!” and ignite meaningful opportunities for learning for neurodiverse, twice-exceptional children.
This year’s festive and lively (online) gala features opportunities to connect and engage, fun and dynamic entertainment, and a meaningful opportunity to “spark!” change.
A pioneer in neurodiverse education, The Quad Preparatory School serves gifted students with learning and social differences (called twice-exceptional or 2e). With their innovative perspectives and intelligence, 2e children have enormous potential to contribute to the world, and yet their neurodiversity means that they are all too often left behind in a conventional learning environment. Quad Prep is changing education not only for its own students, but also, through its outreach and programs, for twice-exceptional students and diverse learners nationwide. Quad Prep is redefining the experience of school and reinventing neurodiverse education so that all students have the opportunity to thrive.
