About CELC
An Outstanding Experiential Education for Young Adolescents
The intention of the Connecticut Experiential Learning Center (CELC) is to challenge students and nurture their highest potential. By providing a learning community based in the guiding principles of respect, integrity, responsibility and individual learning, the innate desire of all children to learn, grow, communicate, and create is honored.
Middle School Matters
These years are a preface to your child’s future. The Connecticut Experiential Learning Center gives its students personal attention, combining a full academic program with learning adventures in the arts, field trip discoveries, and all the benefits of small classes and caring teachers.
CELC is a tutorial service providing instruction in all subject areas that are considered part of a complete middle school education, plus many hands-on field experiences, for children ages nine through fourteen (4th through 8th grades). With all the benefits of home schooling, CELC is led by teachers whose expertise stems from over thirty years combined experience in an independent middle school setting as well as private tutoring and raising children. In addition to the full program, there are workshops and events designed to enrich current home schooling.
Students may receive “full-time” instruction in all subjects areas that we provide or join CELC on a “part-time” basis, from 1 – 4 days per week. Hours of instruction are from September through June from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday.
