Our Mission: To inspire a love of learning through discovery and engagement; to explore the interconnected nature of science, technology and our ever-changing world; and to be the catalyst that unlocks the potential within each individual.

Talcott Mountain Science Center (TMSC) provides hands-on, inquiry-based programming of students in grades K-8. TMSC offers summer, vacation and Saturday programs; teacher/professional development; field trips and in-school programs. 

In 1983, the Talcott Mountain Academy was added as a division of TMSC to accommodate the special needs of gifted students, built on TMSC’s original premises of a hands-on approach and an innovative curriculum that weaves together all aspects of education into an integrated learning experience.

Talcott Mountain Academy is a unique, hands-on learning laboratory for intellectually excited students in which children's innate abilities are nurtured from an early age.

Over the last 50 years, the Talcott Mountain Science Center & Academy has trained thousands of teachers and educated hundreds of thousands of students through inspirational lessons, state-of-the-art technology and real-world applications taught by a passionate and dedicated staff.
