You Belong Here

Smaller. Smarter. Better

At The Connect Charter School, we take an intentional approach to education that focuses on the needs of the students. Smaller, smarter, better — these words guide our curriculum, our interactions with your students and our vision for your school.

Smaller

As an intentionally small learning community, we offer a sense of belonging and family. Students feel supported and valued. Our environment encourages creativity and collaboration. As a result, our students are more confident and feel safe being themselves. The middle school years become less of a challenge and more of a chance to discover who they are and where they fit in the world. We see The Connect School as a school with heart. You belong here.

Smarter

The Connect School focuses on “deep learning.” We emphasize depth over coverage, supporting students in mastering essential skills that support their education, development and character. We put education into action with demonstration of mastery through portfolios, exhibitions and academic competitions. Learning to use one’s mind well is the central purpose of our school and that’s reflected in our student-centered spending and our leading academic scores.

Better

Scholar Othneil Blackwood explains the “better” philosophy: "The classes at elite schools require a higher level of problem-solving ability. The difference in academic standards exists even for middle schools. Elite middle schools produce students ready for any high school challenge. They don't notice a dramatic jump in difficulty. They're already leaders, persons with character and skills, eager to do more, ready to take on the hardest available course schedule." Learn more about our vision and mission on our About Us page!
