We prepare complex, gifted learners to thrive in college & beyond

We’ve brought the best parts of “gifted” education principles together with state-of-the-science interventions remediating learning differences and empowering kids

At the core of our innovative educational model is a school tailored to the needs of gifts who have strong analytical reasoning and/or creative thinking skills: no ceiling, project-based learning; small class sizes with close teacher relationships, and the challenge kids need to develop these gifts further.

All of this happens within a ground-breaking educational model developed by experts in how children learn, socialize and grow that harnesses the power of modern neuroscience advances to remediate—not just accommodate—differences in learning, executive function and social-emotional functioning. Each student’s program at Cajal is customized using the data in their neuropsychological and neurophysiological profiles, but they all learn and grow as part of one unified community. Here are some of the elements they have in common; scroll down to find out more about how we customize this approach to move each child forward.
