Academic/School Programs

Students read original texts in classic literature and world philosophy, giving them the cultural literacy necessary for success in college. Professional local artists and community arts organizations, such as the Hartford Stage Company and the Hartford Conservatory, provide authentic programming within the Classical program. Students also have the opportunity to develop their athletic talents through competition in CIAC-approved interscholastic sports.  Classical Magnet’s $36 million facility in the beautiful West End/Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford is an optimal location, enhanced by active partnerships with St. Francis Hospital and the Connecticut Historical Society.
