Don’t Miss the RSCO School Choice Fair on Saturday, Jan. 10

Join the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Greater Hartford Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) for the RSCO School Choice Fair to explore the free PK-12 public school choice options in the Greater Hartford Region, learn about transportation, sports and extracurricular activities, and get details on the RSCO application before it closes on Feb. 6.

Through the RSCO school choice application, Connecticut families with students entering PK-12 can apply to free public schools in the Greater Hartford Region that fit their child’s unique skills, interests and passions, including:

• 40+ magnet schools with specialized themes incorporated into the core curriculum (e.g., S.T.E.M., visual & performing arts, Montessori)
• 26 Open Choice districts and schools outside their town of residence; and
• 3 Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS) Hartford region technical high schools.

Families must apply by the Feb. 6 deadline to access the widest range of options and for the best chance of receiving a placement offer for the 2026-2027 school year.

Come to the RSCO School Choice Fair on Jan. 10 to find a public school that fits your child’s individual interests and passions, and enjoy free snacks, activities and giveaways while supplies last. In case of inclement weather, the event will be held on Jan. 24.
