They’re in a class of their own.

A set of quadruplets will be among the 69,393 kids accepted into pre-K classes of their choice next year.

“It’s a gift,” said mom Lenny Capellan, whose kids will all be in the same class at PS 5 in Inwood, where Mayor de Blasio announced Monday that the city had matched 85 percent of families who applied for full-day pre-K slots.

De Blasio said it would have cost the Capellans at least $40,000 to find a similar program.

The more than 10,000 kids assigned to a school they hadn’t selected can take part in a second round of applications starting June 22.
