About Temple Grandin School
Located in Boulder, Colorado, Temple Grandin School was founded in 2011 to provide a supportive, socially engaging educational community for neurodivergent students in grades 6-12 whose complex needs were not fully addressed by other school environments. Our students are intellectually able, often gifted, but many are unable to access critical learning opportunities due to challenges with anxiety, sensory sensitivity, social cognition, or executive functioning. The TGS educational program is inspired by the educational experiences of Dr. Temple Grandin, the acclaimed animal scientist and autism advocate whose example reminds us that the world needs all kinds of minds.

We believe the world needs all kinds of minds, and we welcome each member's contributions to our curriculum and community. We celebrate what unites us, and what makes us each unique.
