The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Half-Day Program is one of 16 magnet schools/programs managed by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) in Greater Hartford. CREC Schools and Programs provide students across the region with the chance to identify academic areas of interest (magnets) and pursue them in schools that make racial justice and equity a priority while bringing urban and suburban students together for a common purpose and a shared academic interest, such as our magnet, which is the arts.
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 tuition-free schools by following a simple process.
The late application for the
2023-24 school year is available.
HOW TO APPLY
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 wait list. Families who are placed on a wait list should accept their wait list placement by the deadline to secure
their wait list position. Available seats are offered to students on the
wait list through the end of September each year.
