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.
Working at TGS, you are part of a team and environment that changes lives. By its very existence, our community provides renewed hope for neurodivergent students and their parents.
We journey together on an educational quest where academic and social learning are equal partners. 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. We never ask of our students less than we ask of ourselves as we learn, grow, and laugh together.
If you're a lifelong learner who seeks to grow from your strengths, you'll love TGS. We encourage you to apply!
