At CTRA, science, innovation, and technology are at the forefront of our teaching. Our technology magnet school curriculum challenges students to reach their fullest academic potential and is filled with opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery. Our theme-based learning experiences allow students to gain the skillsets needed to advance in the workforce or post-secondary education. CTRA’s sustainability theme encompasses two areas of study: environmental science and advanced manufacturing.
Environmental science and technology high schools thrive on creating an innovative environment for their students to immerse themselves. Students at Connecticut River Academy have the opportunity for hands-on learning with access to advanced machinery, state of the art laboratories, high-tech software, and much more. Furthermore, our teachers also have access to many innovative resources to enhance their lesson plans and curricula.

“What I liked best was how adaptable the curriculum was. Everyone advanced no matter what level each student was at individually. I was never bored at school.”
