“CTRA has an environment where no one is left out, and it makes students happy to come in every day.”

Joe, CTRA Graduate

“At CTRA, I was not only academically challenged, but also had my ideals challenged. The school’s diversity was the most significant impact on my life. Through learning about social justice and interacting with peers from backgrounds different than my own, my education has shaped how I think and interact with the world around me today.”
Taylor, CTRA GRADUATE

"At CTRA, different cultures are expressed through magnet-themed days with food, music, and more. Connecticut River Academy is inclusive, accepting of everyone's religion, and brings awareness to the LGBTQ+ community and the Black Lives Matter movement." 
DAMARILIS, CTRA SCHOLAR

“…After witnessing that CTRA was a diverse place, I knew it would be a good fit. The variety in the student body was especially crucial in our social studies classes. We talked, had debates, good discussions, and shared different perspectives respectfully.”

“CTRA really exposed me to the world. I’m from a really small town and it opened my eyes about different cultures. I met my two best friends on the first day, and we just connected right then and there.” 
JULIA, CTRA STUDENT

“CTRA teachers were tuned in with the school climate and culture because they were interested in knowing who we were and who we wanted to become. Once those relationships were created and nurtured, our real learning began.”
