Ginger, have a look at the website, it's got a very thorough explanation of the educational philosophy.
They do offer a degree of support for kids with additional needs but I will say to those with kids on the spectrum, that I've had several clients and friends with children with Spectrum kids go to this school and find that it was a really poor fit. The way the school seems to run is very unstructured and student-led which can lead to a higher degree of unpredictability, a lack of clear rules and expectations for many tasks (as each child is meeting individualized goals) and more classroom noise and movement. Obviously for kids who need / benefit from structure, routine, rules, predictability and low sensory input, this is often not ideal. I don't doubt that there are plenty of kids on the spectrum who'd love it there, and lots of NT kids it's equally not suited to... Just a heads up as I've had two families remove their child with ASD from this school within a year because they weren't coping with these factors.
Apologies for joining thread derailment. As you were....
