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 provides instruction in all subject areas that are considered part of a complete middle school education, blended with real-world learning experiences, for children ages ten through fourteen (5th through 8th grades).
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.
Students may join for “full-time” instruction in all subjects areas or join on a “part-time” basis, for 3 – 4 days per week. Regular hours of instruction are September through June from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday.
CELC also offers enrichment opportunities, including workshops and special events for students and/or parents, in addition to student and family travel. Subscribe to our mailing list to stay informed about upcoming programming.
