Our personalized model fully integrates social and emotional learning with challenging academics, empowering our students to rise to the level of their extraordinary talents. Through our innovative programs we are leading a larger movement in service of both twice-exceptional people and society at large.
Our teachers, clinicians, and staff joined together to craft our statement of values, which we are proud to share :
- Quad Prep is a kind and joyful learning community where everyone is celebrated for who they are.
- We ignite students’ strengths and passions and allow for safe academic pursuit at the highest levels by learning from mistakes.
- We are trustworthy and steadfast, and our high academic expectations challenge students to grow uniquely as people and in the way they learn.

The Quad Preparatory School is looking for a special education science teacher to teach middle school Life Science and Earth and Space Science. Please note that our eighth-grade curriculum is a high-school level course.

Teachers have the opportunity to receive mentorship, coaching, and support from the clinicians as well as academic administrators.
