Is your clever, quirky teen ready for advanced academics that actually ENGAGE rather than overwhelm?

This episode is a re-released interview with Sam Young, Head of School at Young Scholar’s Academy. Our conversation dives into what it means to be “twice-exceptional,” the different challenges neurodivergent students face, and how community and leaning into strengths builds confidence and sets students up for success.

My friends over at Young Scholars Academy offer WASC-accredited AP/Adulting 101/Leadership courses specifically designed for gifted and twice-exceptional learners. Their approach combines rigorous content with a supportive, strength-based environment where neurodivergent students can truly thrive and make like-minded friends.

One mom said, “You changed my son’s life. He’s in college now, thanks to the skills and confidence YSA gave him.”

Courses begin August 25th! Don’t miss out on your chance to enroll today!
