The Learning Corridor was created by a collaborative effort involving SINA (Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance) and the leadership of Trinity College, Hartford Hospital and its mental health network The Institute of Living, The Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Connecticut Public Television and Radio, and a host of other committed Hartford stakeholders including the city of Hartford and the State of Connecticut. There’s a lot of light shining on The Learning Corridor, because it has already become more than an innovative new school system. It has become a source of pride for Greater Hartford.

The Learning Corridor is a 16-acre campus nestled between Trinity College and the Institute of Living. It comprises four public magnet schools encompassing grades pre-K through 12. There is a Montessori Magnet School, a Magnet Middle School, and two Greater Hartford Academies that teach high-level Math, Science, and Arts. These schools are managed by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC). Also included on the campus are support programs for youth – a Boys and Girls Club, The Aetna Center for Families, and the CT Valley Girl Scouts Council. There is no other public school campus in the country that combines these elements.
