The new Charter Oak International Academy in West Hartford, CT will be opening its doors for the upcoming 2016-2017 school year. The school will serve grades Pre-K through fifth and plans to accept 80 students per grade. In order to meet the challenges of modern day, the original Charter Oak building that was built in 1929 did not sufficiently accomplish its goal of a magnet school as space was very limited. The Charter Oak International Academy is an International Baccalaureate® (IB) World School which helps to cultivate the personal, emotional, academic and social skills necessary to work, learn and live in an international world.
The new building’s extraordinary circular design lends to the schools all-encompassing concept to learning. Robert H. Lord Co. and BCI Modern Library Furniture were selected among several bids to provide the appointments for the new library. All of BCI’s furniture can be purchased through the Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC).
