The Value of The Quaker School

TQS is so much more than a school for students with complex challenges.

This is where your child will form authentic bonds with peers, faculty, and staff - and where you will find true support and understanding with other parents and families.

It's where the absolute best research-based solutions will help your child blossom socially, behaviorally, and academically, and where your child will build a future of previously unthinkable possibilities.

TQS is a special place, created with love and intention. An investment in a TQS education is an investment in your child's joy, confidence, and ability to become a lifelong learner.

At TQS, we are committed to ensuring this opportunity is within reach. For this reason, financial aid is readily available for all grades. We encourage you to contact us to learn more.
