Join our next Information Session to learn about our pioneering program and the science behind it!

Thursday, December18, 2025, 3-4:30 pm

13 Marshall St, Norwalk, CT 06854

Rolling admissions for immediate placements, summer 2026 and the 2026-27 school year

For families exploring options for grades K-12

Come see how we prepare exceptionally bright teens to be college-ready and life-ready— building the executive function, collaboration, and leadership skills they need to turn their unique ways of seeing the world into reality, while reducing the challenges that have held them back!

At this event we’ll introduce you to a whole new, neuropsychology-driven way to understand your child’s needs today, what might be limiting their educational runway going forward, and how our unique program reduces those barriers while giving them the super-sized skills they’ll need for a future defined by their strengths.

By the end of the afternoon you should have a good idea of how our program might help to empower your child, how our small school setting paradoxically accelerates social-emotional growth, and even some new insights you can start applying at home!

What you’ll experience at this event:

3:-3:15 Meet and greet with our educators

3:15-4:15 Presentation by our Co-Founder about our research-backed program and the science behind it

4:15-4:30 Tour

4:30+ We’ll stick around until the last question is answered!

There’s still time to join Cajal Academy with a January placement and December is the perfect time for thinking ahead to the fall; RSVP for our December session today!

“At my old school, in math class, when they taught me how to do a problem if I did it in a different way then they would tell me I was wrong and I had to do it their way. At Cajal, they let me solve the problem my way but then they break down their way and explain it to me in simpler terms so I can understand that too. Then I can solve it both ways.”

Cajal Academy breathed life back into my wise, funny, quirky daughter, empowering her to enjoy, and expand, her own considerable intellectual and creative strengths, while also giving her the confidence and tools necessary to address her challenges. We thank Cajal for giving us our daughter back and for the parental joy of being able to watch her thrive.

“After his first semester at Cajal, my son attended a winter break camp at the same camp he had attended over the summer. At the end of the camp, the counselor took us aside to tell us that she had observed how much he had changed since the summer. He was more regulated, able to deal with transitions, and work through difficult moments without melting down. She couldn’t believe the difference in just six months.”

“The first day Heather Edwards met my son, she lay down on her stomach next to him and started teaching him the scientific names for different types of sensory inputs. I told her after their session that I didn't think he was ready for that—after all, he was only 5! Turns out I was wrong--and soon he was attending mainstream camps with no 1:1, because he knew how to advocate for what his sensory system needs in terms his counselors couldn't ignore. It was a game-changer!”

“…I was unprepared for what I found at Cajal. Instead of skepticism, they knew exactly what I was talking about, and not only that, they would go further and explain what was going on with our kids and why; and even further, explain what they could do at Cajal to address that problem; and further explain how they work to teach kids to understand their condition and how to maintain their health and keep from spiraling downhill (the usual depressing outcome for kids with hEDS). I felt heard and validated for the first time!…” Read more.

About our School:

Cajal Academy is an innovative school for bright, gifted, “twice exceptional” and EDS students in grades K-12, with embedded expertise for learning, social-emotional, physio and chronic medical conditions.

We’ve made a break-through for the field of education: a research-backed methodology for reducing or even removing learning, social-emotional and in some cases executive function disabilities.

This ground-breaking work is embedded within a project-based learning school tailored to develop the skills innovative thinkers need to turn their unique ways of seeing the world into reality.
