Discovery Academy is one of 16 magnet schools managed by the Capitol Region Education
Council (CREC) in Greater Hartford. CREC Schools provide students across the
region with the chance to identify what fascinates them and pursue it
through opportunities that they won't find anywhere else.
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.
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 waitlist.
Families who are placed on a waitlist should accept their waitlist
placement by the deadline to secure their waitlist position. Available seats
are offered to students on the waitlist through the end of September each
year.
The late application for the 2023-24 school year is available.
