My son is thriving at TGS. Public school was literally making him sick (stomach aches/head aches)…read more As an honors student with social/emotional challenges, public school was a tough place to reach his full potential. He kept his head down and flew under the radar and was diagnosed with high functioning ASD in 9th grade. TGS knocks down the walls of judgment against neurodiverse kids that exist in public schools and give them new tools to achieve their potential each day in creative ways so that kids learn to express themselves and feel heard and accepted.

My son has been able to get out of his defensive mode (which has obstructed his ability to learn) because he is finally receiving the necessary accommodations for his Aspergers and ADHD learning profile. The school, with its amazing and dedicated staff, has helped him move forward not only with his academics, but has provided valuable tools to help him with his social skills and emotional regulation as well. He looks forward to going to school now and feels grateful to be in a place where he is valued, respected and understood. We love the community and integrity that comes along with The Temple Grandin School and we have much hope for our son's future accomplishments.

She enjoys seeing all her classmates (she hated not having school over winter break), singing, playing "family", and running all around the giant outdoor play area. The teachers stay in communication weekly and keep us up to date on class activities, parent learning opportunities, and the progress of our daughter. I appreciate that the snacks are healthy and that they are proactive about allergies. Her teachers are so kind and highly experienced and give the children the tools and the space to develop their interpersonal skills.

We had a very bad experience with Watershed. They assured us that they could support my child, who…read moreis very gifted, but they could not. They gave her work below her capabilities and busy work that took her hours and hours to complete each night. When I tried to talk with the teacher she shamed my daughter, even in front of me. When I then talked to the Director, he lectured me on how stress is often good for children and that he stands behind his teachers. When we set up a meeting to discuss it together with the teacher, they postponed and postponed it, giving excuses. When I finally pulled her from the school they sent me into collections, even though the Director said he would get back to me with a negotiation, which he never did. Buyer beware.

Our child is really thriving; he loves going to school and regales us each evening with the new letters, animals, art techniques, outdoor games, Spanish language words, historical events, and songs (among many other things) that he's learning each day. We are so happy with the communication we receive from his classroom teachers, and understand in great detail where we can support our child's social-emotional and academic development. The school has also been exceptional in its handling of safety and health precautions for the students as well as the broader community - and we love getting our weekly communications from the division heads, and the school at-large.
