“ If you are a young nerd in Connecticut, looking for a middle school or after school program, I highly recommend Talcott. I went to Talcott Mountain Academy, a small school that believed in hiring teachers who knew and loved mathematics and science. They focused on letting us explore and experiment, taking walks in the woods to learn to identify stages of forest growth, learning to work with chemicals and chemical apparatus, and wiring circuit boards. My math teacher, Mr. Frazier, was always playing with a new computation or puzzle and would pull me aside to share new challenges with me.”

“ Lewis is in his third year at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. While he is reading Medieval History, he is also enjoying a large host of friends and working in a popular pub. Lewis's two years at Talcott Mountain were a turning point in his happiness around others and his love of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your gifts to him.”

“ My fondest memories of Talcott Mountain Academy was the confidence I gained learning complex math problems, the nature walks learning about trees and rocks, and the unique teachers that sparked in me a love of learning. My love affair with art and math started at Talcott and is rekindled in me everyday. Now that I am a teacher here, I hope to rekindle the same feeling now in my students.”

“ I strongly recommend this school to any gifted child with a passion for learning, even if he or she hasn't discovered it yet.”
