Giving Activity

Mission

Temple Grandin School empowers neurodivergent students to recognize and realize their potential.

Background Statement

Temple Grandin School was founded in 2011 to provide a supportive, socially engaging educational community for neurodivergent students whose complex needs were not fully addressed by other school environments. These students are intellectually able, often gifted, but many are unable to access critical learning opportunities in public schools due to challenges with anxiety, sensory sensitivity, social cognition and executive functioning. Because they are neither typical, nor typically autistic, neurodivergent students on the autism spectrum are often misunderstood and under-supported in traditional schools. At TGS, these students find a community of acceptance where their unique perspectives are nurtured and they can build the supports they need to transform their talents into exceptional achievements.
