Connecticut’s Most Innovative School, for its Most Innovative Thinkers
Cajal Academy is where today’s innovative thinkers gain the skills to become tomorrow’s thought leaders.
We take a comprehensive approach to preparing gifted and twice exceptional kids to realize their ideas & be happy, healthy & whole as the adults they will become.
Cajal Academy is a small, innovative K-12 school located in the heart of historic South Norwalk, Connecticut and accessible by train from NYC and points throughout the region.
We offer a first-of-its-kind program unlocking student gifts by reducing or removing learning and in some cases social-emotional and executive function disabilities, through a research-backed, neurodevelopmental approach.
These services are integrated into academic curriculum aligned with state standards and tailored to develop the super-sized executive function, leadership and self-care skills that students with strong analytical reasoning and/or creative thinking skills need for a future defined by their strengths.
We are the only school in Connecticut offering expert programs for intellectually-gifted students with special needs, the only school in the world that offers these powerful learning interventions, and also the first school specifically designed to empower kids with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and its many common ride-along conditions.
We are accepting applications for the 2025-26 school year, with rolling admissions for mid-year placements, and also for our “2e-friendly” Workshop Wednesdays Enrichment Series and new, After School Program. Apply today!
