The Learning Corridor
 

MISSION
The Learning Corridor is the center of an extended community of learning stretching from the College to the neighborhood and involving nearly 1,500 students from Hartford and the region. The Learning Corridor was created by a collaborative effort involving SINA (Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance) and the leadership of Trinity College, Hartford Hospital, The Institute of Living, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Connecticut Public Television and Radio, and a host of other committed Hartford stakeholders including the City of Hartford and the State of Connecticut.

The Learning Corridor is a 16-acre campus nestled between Trinity College and the Institute of Living. It comprises four public magnet schools encompassing grades pre-K through 12. There is a Montessori Magnet School, a Magnet Middle School, and two Greater Hartford Academies that teach high-level Math, Science, and Arts. These schools are managed by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC). Also included on the campus are support programs for youth – a Boys and Girls Club, The Aetna Center for Families, and the CT Valley Girl Scouts Council. There is no other public school campus in the country that combines these elements.

Developed to benefit the entire region, Learning Corridor outreach programming provides services to teachers, students, and parents in the Capitol region by bringing in classes from other schools for short-term experiences utilizing the resources and education specialists of the Learning Corridor. There’s a light shining on the campus, because it has already become more than an innovative new school system. It has become a source of pride for Greater Hartford.

Mission Statement
The Learning Corridor, a campus of four inter-district public magnet schools, a performing arts center, and community programs, is committed to providing a unique educational model for a diverse body of youth, while contributing to the revitalization of Hartford.
