"In September 1983 the academy was opened.  The rest is history.  Science, Maths and Technology.  It's all there.  They teach to a child's capability, not an outdated curriculum.  Children are not only being challenged, but they are being taught RELEVANT material, current, alive.  My boys are thrilled. As a Mom, so am I."
- Rhonda Craft Bird, TMA Parent

"I have found Talcott to be a wonderful place where inquisitive minds are nurtured.  Simply put, it is a school where fast learners can run at their own pace.  Every day, our child comes home excited about a new fact or principle learned in science. But, it is not just about science. Students also receive a comprehensive curriculum in math, reading, writing, social studies, music, and art using both traditional methods, AND the latest technologies... computers and iPads for every student in class really bring lessons to life!  Talcott is a place where discovery abounds and learning is contagious."
- Sheila Levine, TMA Parent

“ Lewis is in his third year at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. While he is reading Medieval History, he is also enjoying a large host of friends and working in a popular pub. Lewis's two years at Talcott Mountain were a turning point in his happiness around others and his love of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your gifts to him.”
-Maynard & Elizabeth Stowe, Parents of Lewis Stowe, TMA class of 2000

“ I strongly recommend this school to any gifted child with a passion for learning, even if he or she hasn't discovered it yet.”
-Shari Weisman, Neuroscience major at Yale University, TMA class of 1998

“ If you are a young nerd in Connecticut, looking for a middle school or after school program, I highly recommend Talcott. I went to Talcott Mountain Academy, a small school that believed in hiring teachers who knew and loved mathematics and science. They focused on letting us explore and experiment, taking walks in the woods to learn to identify stages of forest growth, learning to work with chemicals and chemical apparatus, and wiring circuit boards. My math teacher, Mr. Frazier, was always playing with a new computation or puzzle and would pull me aside to share new challenges with me.”
