Hundreds of Connecticut families interested in exploring their Pre-K through Grade 12 school choice options in the Greater Hartford Region—and enjoying FREE winter wonderland-themed fun—are invited to attend the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) Kick-Off School Choice Fair this Saturday. Free food, games, face painting and photos with special characters make it a fun event for all ages.
The RSCO School Choice Fair is the first major event since RSCO’s application for the 2024-2025 school year launched earlier this week. The on-time application period closes March 15, 2024.
Families can meet with RSCO staff and school representatives to learn about the school choice options that best fit their child’s interests and passions, sports, clubs and transportation, as well as receive application assistance.
Through the RSCO application, all Connecticut families with students entering Pre-K3 through Grade 12 can apply to attend three different types of free, public schools in the Greater Hartford Region, including: 43 magnet schools incorporating specialized themes into the core curriculum, such as STEM, visual and performing arts, and dual language. Open Choice public schools in high-performing school districts outside of their town. 3 regional technical high schools or CTECS, specializing in career and college readiness.
