Who Should Apply?
The 2e Student
Twice-exceptional, or 2e, students possess a distinctive combination of intellectual giftedness and neurodivergence. They may demonstrate advanced abilities in areas such as mathematics, science, language, the arts, or the humanities while also experiencing challenges that can affect learning, communication, attention, or executive functioning.
At The Sage School, we understand the complexity and potential of twice-exceptional learners. Our supportive, strengths-based environment is designed to nurture each student’s abilities, address individual needs, and help them grow with confidence.
Intellectual Giftedness
Advanced cognitive abilities, strong curiosity, creative thinking, and the capacity to understand complex ideas.
Learning Differences
Challenges in areas such as reading, writing, mathematics, attention, executive functioning, or social communication.
Unique Learning Style
A preference for self-directed learning, flexible pacing, creative problem-solving, and in-depth exploration.
Intense Interests
A deep passion for particular subjects, ideas, or activities that can inspire exceptional focus and engagement.
Our Admissions Process
While we generally look for an above-average IQ, we recognize that standardized testing does not always fully reflect the abilities of twice-exceptional students. Rather than relying on a single score, we take a holistic approach—considering each student’s strengths, challenges, learning profile, and overall potential.

What We Consider
Cognitive Assessments
We review cognitive profiles to identify areas of strength, areas of challenge, and patterns that may shape a student’s learning experience.
Academic Records
We consider academic transcripts, standardized test scores, teacher recommendations, and other relevant school records.
Parent Reports
We value the insight of parents and caregivers, who often provide essential context about a student’s strengths, needs, and experiences.
Student Interview
We meet with each student to learn more about their interests, motivation, learning preferences, and social-emotional needs.
For the first time, I'm surrounded by people who understand what it's like to be twice-exceptional. I finally feel like I belong and don't have to face school alone.
