Well-rounded education: We enhance your student’s learning by incorporating the multiple intelligences—bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, naturalistic, and visual-spatial—into instruction.
Personalized learning experiences: Students discover their learning style, set goals, and grow through thoughtful lessons designed to bring out their best selves and celebrate the unique ways everyone learns.
Partnerships with University of Hartford: Not only are we located on the university’s campus, but we also have partnerships with the School of Education and HARTT School of Music to support and enhance student learning.
