Discovery Academy, operated by the Capitol Region Education Council, is part of the Regional School Choice Office’s (RSCO) network of 44 magnet schools. RSCO is the office established by the Connecticut State Department of Education to serve as a centralized resource for information about the Greater Hartford Region’s unique, high-quality public school choice options for prekindergarten through grade 12. The RSCO School Choice System offers students a wide array of school choice options and brings together families from over 40 towns in diverse and engaging learning environments.
RSCO also manages the application and placement process for these schools. Prospective students must apply through RSCO’s easy-to-use online application platform that allows parents/guardians to manage applications for all their children. Families only need to create one RSCO account and should use the same account each year to submit applications.
The on-time application period for the 2025-2026 school year opens on December 3, 2024, and closes on Februray 10, 2025, at 5:00 pm. Submitting an application during the on-time period is one of the best ways to increase the chance of a placement offer. The late application will open on a limited basis the week of March 10, 2025.
The late application will open mid-March on a limited basis by school and grade. Please log into your RSCO account for up-to-date information to see if our school is still accepting applications during this period.
