Cartus, Magnet School And Junior Achievement Form Partnership

The new Western Connecticut Magnet School has created a partnership with Cartus and Junior Achievement (JA) to provide in-class educational programs to all students at the school.

Cartus, headquartered in Danbury, will staff the 12 kindergarten through fourth classes with company volunteers. JA’s programs and Cartus’s international scope greatly compliment both the school’s focus and curriculum.

JA provided free programming last year to more than 4,200 Danbury area students in 26 schools using both parent and business volunteers. 

Nineteen students from Newtown are attending the magnet school this school year.
