Considering Cajal Academy for your child? Here are some next steps to continue the journey!
Start your online application
Our application doesn’t require any student essays, and there’s no need to alert your current school. Here’s what’s required to complete the application:
Complete our parent questionnaire
Upload any evaluations, assessments, and IEP/504 plan (if any) at the end of our form
$125 application fee to partially defray the costs of our clinical review
If it seems like your child might be a good fit for our program after an initial review, we will invite your child for a day on site with us, so they get to experience Cajal for themselves before making any commitments.
Attend an Information Session to learn about our program
Our approach to understanding and empowering kids is different enough that we ask all parents considering enrollment at Cajal Academy to attend an Information Session. In these events, our co-founder and Head of School will provide an overview of the neuroscience driving common aspects of gifted and twice exceptional kids’ experiences, and how we use those insights to ‘rewire’ and reduce children’s challenges while developing the executive function, social and self-care skills that gifted children need to thrive. Come learn about our pioneering program, and how it could revolutionize all of education!

We develop the skills that innovative thinkers will need for a future defined by their strengths.
All Cajal Academy students master the critical thinking, executive function and leadership skills that students who naturally see the world differently will need for a future defined by their strengths, through project-based learning, leadership skills and individualized coaching.
We reduce or remove learning and social difficulties, through a first of its kind approach available only at Cajal Academy.
Our pioneering Student Growth Catalysts target and enhance the specific neurocognitive and neurophysio skill deficiencies driving their learning or social disabilities, through a research-backed approach that is only available at Cajal Academy and could revolutionize the field of education as we know it!

Every week this spring, we are opening our program up to gifted and twice exceptional kids in our community who are seeking enrichment or just want to learn more about our school. Each Wednesday we do a different project-based learning activity. A brief application is required; $175 per workshop.
