Connecticut IB Academy

Our families actively participate in community-wide events at CIBA and East Hartford Public Schools. The Parent Advisory Committee, consisting of parent volunteers, hosts monthly meetings with guest speakers to keep families updated on CIBA happenings and provide resources. Frequent volunteer events, both on and off-campus, invite families to join us in fostering an appreciation for service.
