Is Your Teen Ready for Something More?

 

Does your high schooler have big dreams and the drive to pursue them? Are they looking for a school experience that goes beyond the traditional classroom?

Our two specialized magnet schools might be exactly what they need. Whether your teen is passionate about the arts or eager to get a head start on college, we offer unique opportunities that can set them up for success.

Ready to explore college while still in high school? At Quinebaug Middle College (QMC), 11th and 12th graders take college courses at CTSC-QV at no cost - giving them real college experience and credits.

Does your teen live and breathe the arts? Arts at the Capitol Theatre (ACT) combines strong academics with daily arts training in everything from acting and dance to technical theater and media arts.

Both schools are fully accredited and tuition-free for Connecticut students. They're designed for motivated learners who want to challenge themselves and explore their passions in a supportive environment.
