Neurodiversity-Understanding Each Learner
At TBS, we see each student’s learning strengths, challenges, preferences, and interests as facets of who they are as learners and as people.
Every Learner, Known.
For us, no truer picture of each child emerges than through the ways they grow and develop as learners. In their quest to seek and nurture each child’s unique learning potential, our teachers get to know how each student learns and use that understanding to personalize instructional approaches, assignments, and ways for students to demonstrate what they know.
At TBS, the process of understanding each student is ongoing and ever-evolving, in parallel with each child’s development. Teachers share observations with each other, parenting adults, and outside specialists, welcoming collaboration that leads to meaningful support, successful outcomes, and a more complete picture of each student as a learner.
Why TBS?
Our small class sizes, low student-teacher ratios, pedagogical foundations, and core belief in the value and vitality of neurodiversity make us capable of meeting a wide range of learning needs. We make admissions decisions based on student-centered, data-informed processes designed to help everyone involved feel seen, supported, known, and respected.
