Messages from Our Head of School

This year, TQS will be inviting parents and guardians into the classroom to do some learning of their own. 

TQS hired renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Cheryl Chase to design an executive functioning curriculum for our school and spend two years training our faculty on delivering the curriculum.  However, since our goal is for our students to find the right-fit path forward to fulfilling their full potential, our interventions are at their best with a strong family partnership. 

For this reason, TQS will offer this executive-functioning training for parents as well as faculty. 

This past week, I had the privilege of spending the day with an inspiring group of professionals. These dedicated individuals are at the top of their fields, care deeply about children with complex challenges, and share our commitment to TQS’s unique and life-changing mission. 

The best part? These professionals are now all part of our TQS family. 

Here at TQS, relationships are core to our educational model – and we want to give every child the opportunity to forge meaningful, lasting bonds with peers, faculty, and staff. 

This is especially important in our Sassafras program, which enables young students with more challenging autism to develop the skills they need to succeed. 

That’s why I’m especially excited to introduce one of our new staff members. Seda Mkrticheva has joined our team as the new Director of the Sassafras program,

We aren’t afraid to evolve with the latest research, set big goals, and execute complex strategies. We aren’t afraid to make bold strides. This stems directly from our community. TQS is a place where parents, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters CARE. That's why I'm so excited about the opportunity for us all to shine together in a new direction with our latest plan, Leading the Change.
