A Message from the Principal

Talcott Fine Arts and Museum Academy is a Dual Language school  that promotes multilingualism through multimodal learning approaches to achieve biliteracy and bilingualism with a Fine and Performing Arts integration. We are dedicated to fostering an enriching  and equitable learning environment centered on  inquiry and high standards for all. 

We prioritize inclusivity, ensuring equitable opportunities for all students where mutual respect and growth mindsets prevail  while fostering robust social-emotional support and culturally responsive active learning through a partnership among students, faculty, and families.

We cultivate  a professional, nurturing, and joyful  atmosphere which prepares students with competitive skills for the 21st Century to ultimately have a positive impact on  our global society.
