About
No long boring lectures here. Learning at Talcott is student-driven, which means they're fully engaged and involved. We encourage them to ask (a lot of) questions; and we help them think creatively to solve problems and find answers. We also work directly with educators to help them integrate this type of learning into classrooms throughout the region. Our integrated curriculum provides a robust and meaningful education that fosters both the intellectual and creative abilities of gifted and talented children. Staff and students engage in scientific and educational research to find solutions to problems in an increasingly complex and technological world. Let us fuel your child's imagination through discovery, exploration and innovation.
