“ Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
-Albert Einstein


Imagine a school... where "intellectually excited" youngsters study on a mountaintop, drawing inspiration from a panoramic view of more than five thousand square miles. Where students compose poetry, program computers, and learn how to create computer-assisted music while reaching for the stars.

Imagine an environment... where the air is crisp and clear and the challenge to explore, discover, and invent is the norm. Where language arts is integrated and balanced with science, mathematics is related to art, and music combines with technology to synthesize new sounds for young ears. Where all students learn a foreign language and enjoy special weekly enrichment sessions in an already enriched program. Where teachers, students, and parents are all active partners in the learning process.

Imagine a classroom... where young girls and boys plot sunspots using telescopes, measures raindrops, create snowflakes in June, track hurricanes and tornadoes with color Doppler radar, and explore the heavens with a wide array of photographic and telescopic devices.

Well, you need imagine no further. The Talcott Mountain Academy is the only elementary/middle school in Connecticut which offers an entire program exclusively for academically talented youngsters all day, every school day.
