Founder's Gala
An Evening to Empower Extraordinary Minds
Each year, our community of sponsors, community members, and guests comes together to make a resounding impact on the experience of education for gifted, neurodiverse students. The fun-filled evening is a time to celebrate our community and to honor people who have made an impact on Quad Prep or the field of neuroinclusion. Join us for a vibrant cocktail hour, stunning views of Manhattan, inspirational stories, and delicious food—all in support of our talented students!
Funds raised at the Founder’s Gala provide critical unrestricted support for faculty salaries, professional development, robust curriculum, enrichment opportunities, and other critical needs of the school.

There are many opportunities to get involved and lend your support as we transform the experience of education for gifted, neurodiverse students.
