ACADEMICS
At CREC, we believe that true academic excellence is found in a dynamic, theme-infused education that inspires our students to become the architects of their own futures. We cultivate a community where learning is an act of creation, driven by curiosity and courage, and where every challenge is a stepping stone to personal and academic growth. Our students not only wrestle with rigorous content, but also to build empathy and respect for the diverse world around them. CREC students use their vision and voice to influence the world in meaningful ways. Through this journey, our learners are empowered to become resilient problem-solvers and compassionate leaders who are ready to shape the future with purpose and imagination.

The CREC University of Hartford Magnet School boasts a unique curriculum inspired by Dr. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Dr. Gardner's theory encourages students to explore their learning through the eight intelligences; bodily-kinesthetic; interpersonal; intrapersonal; linguistic; logical-mathematical; musical; naturalistic; and visual-spatial. At the CREC University of Hartford Magnet School, staff work together to identify and teach to each child's individual talents and strengths to ensure that all students are challenged and supported.
