Full-Time & On-Campus for Fall 2020
Welcome to Talcott Mountain AcademyConnecticut’s premier independent school for bright & gifted students grades K-8.
Welcoming Students Back to Campus
With eight weeks of teaching students safely in on-campus summer programs, our small class size and spacious campus, we’re confidently looking forward to the return of full-time, on-campus learning for all Talcott students. (Distance learning options also available.) Find out more about our reopening plan and how Talcott is leading the way in education.
The Talcott experience
A school within a science center, Talcott Mountain Academy inspires young minds to ask questions, seek answers and explore new ideas. Small classes, peer-to-peer mentorship opportunities and numerous school-wide activities contribute to a close-knit community where students find acceptance and feel they belong. So much so, they often refer to Talcott as their ‘home away from home.”
Students quickly learn from their peers that their unique interests and talents are what make them special — they don’t need to pretend to be someone they’re not. This revelation is often the beginning of a transformational journey of self-discovery.
