About Us
Uncommonly Awesome Learning Lab is a learning center offering project-based learning for neurodivergent students in upper elementary and middle school. We are especially designed for twice exceptional (2e) students (students who are gifted learners who also have a disability). Founded in 2022, we excited to continue creating a nurturing environment for 2e kids in the 2024-25 school year. We believe in accommodations, advocacy, and that everyone learns differently.

Application Process
​
The application process starts by contacting our director to set up an initial visit and teacher interview. If that goes well, your child will then have a "shadow day" to try out a school day and see if our environment is a good fit. We also have an application form that we encourage you to complete to tell us a little more about your child.
