Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (6-12) (Formerly Hartford Magnet Middle School)

Program Overview:

The HMTCA program is grounded in a rigorous core curriculum and complemented by an extraordinary encore program. A challenging program of studies and a culture of high expectations provide an environment in which all of our students may excel, academically and socially. Our theme focus is science, the arts, and early college. At HMTCA, we attempt to transcend traditional subject-centered boundaries in order to encourage students’ broader thinking and promote their enduring understanding. Students make authentic connections among the disciplines. Learning goals are clear and instructional practices and activities honor differences in students’ learning styles. Based on 2010-11 enrollment data, the school meets the state integration standard.

HMMS has expanded to include an Early College High School Model in partnership with Trinity College. The new expanded Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (HMTCA) will offer grades 6-10 for the upcoming 2012-2013 school year. By school year 2014-2015, HMTCA will offer grades 6-12.
