Upcoming Event:
Come see what The Academy is all about. Visit the Watkinson table at the West Hartford GAP year fair, February 8, 2012 at Bristow Middle School at 6:30 p.m. Looking forward to seeing you there!
A pre-college year designed by you.
For decades, Watkinson has served the post-graduate needs of students who weren't ready for the social, schedule, or academic pressures that college brings. In order to meet the ever changing needs of students that are driven by a fast-paced, technology driven and competitive society, Watkinson has relaunched our programs for students in the midst of the transition from high school to college. The Academy is part gap year, part post graduate year, and wholly an extension of Watkinson’s unique educational philosophy. Students will carve out the right balance of both studying the world and learning more about themselves to thrive independently in whatever college they choose. Read more here. |

I got to take college level courses in communications (my intended degree) while strengthening some core academics in the small, supportive setting of Watkinson. I got "As" across the board and feel totally ready to move on to college. Plus, I was accepted at every college I applied to, which was a great feeling." |
