of the United Girls’ Choir and Elm City Girls’ Choir.  The School's mission is to foster a deep
commitment to the realization of personal and artistic potential and to

Killingworth, Madison, Milford, North Haven and Shelton, and is currently in
the process of establishing additional chapters in communities throughout the
state.
