The Montessori Magnet School is one of 16 magnet schools managed by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) in Greater Hartford. CREC Schools provide students across the region with the chance to identify what fascinates them and pursue it through opportunities that they won't find anywhere else.

Starting 2023-2024 school year, all new students including our current PreK3 and PreK4 will benefit from our full-day program with the school hours of 8:40 am until 3:40 pm.

Email [email protected] with questions regarding school hours. 

Students interested in attending CREC Schools apply through the Regional School Choice Office (RSCO). RSCO serves Hartford and suburban students who are interested in public school choice options in the Greater Hartford Region. Any student who resides in Connecticut can apply to our schools by following a simple process.

The late application for the 2023-24 school year is available.

Accept Placement

Register with your child's school

 
Using a common RSCO application, applicants for CREC schools and other inter-district magnet, charter, and regional programs can rank up to five school choice options. Students who are not offered a seat in the initial round of the placement process are placed on a waitlist. Families who are placed on a waitlist should accept their waitlist placement by the deadline to secure their waitlist position. Available seats are offered to students on the waitlist through the end of September each year.

Pathways

Pathway Information: Students completing Grade 5 or 6 at Montessori Magnet School will have the same pathway opportunities as other CREC Elementary schools. Priority may be given to students coming from another magnet school for a limited number of seats.
