A new school year is beginning on the mountain! 📚✨

Yesterday, we welcomed Talcott Mountain Academy students and families for Orientation and kicked off the 2026-2027 school year.

It was wonderful to see familiar faces, meet new students, and come together as a community.

Here's to another year of inspiring and empowering advanced and curious learners at Talcott Mountain Academy!

The future belongs to problem solvers. 🌟

Give your child the opportunity to explore robotics in a fun, hands-on environment this fall at Talcott Mountain Science Center.

Students ages 9-14 will work as a team to design, build, and program LEGO robots while taking on the 2026 FIRST LEGO League CANOPY challenge. Along the way, they'll strengthen coding, engineering, critical thinking, and collaboration skills that extend far beyond the competition.
