Why Tapestry Public Charter School was nominated
Tapestry was founded eight years ago by parents of kids on the autism spectrum, and about half of the students enrolled in the school are students with disabilities. Students with disabilities and their neurotypical peers learn side by side in a fully-inclusive environment. The school utilizes technology to provide innovative and individualized education for all of its students.
Student experience design
Tapestry was created to be a fully inclusive middle and high school environment where 50% of the population is neurotypical and 50% have special needs.
