Coventry School District

District Overview
A suburban community of approximately 12,000 residents located in northeastern Connecticut in Tolland County, Coventry is close to Interstate 84, which runs between Boston and New York State, and is near the University of Connecticut, Eastern Connecticut State University, and Manchester Community College, all popular universities attended by Coventry graduates. Coventry Public Schools collaborates closely with universities for internships, student-teaching partnerships, and community service work
Our Coventry Public Schools mission states: “The Coventry Public Schools will prepare every student for life, learning and work in the 21st century.” The Board of Education has a strong commitment to ensuring that every student leaves our district college and career ready with the 21st century skills necessary to meet success. This commitment is evident by the three district goals adopted by the Board of Education:
• Identify, define, and measure the critical skills and attributes that are required for success and align systems to continuously improve student performance and achievement.
• Maintain and promote a positive and respectful learning community.
• Recruit, retain, and develop high-quality staff at every level.
A high performing school district, Coventry Public Schools boasts a collaborative culture and best practices in teaching and learning that lead to outstanding student achievement. Our Portrait of the Graduate ensures that our students are empowered learners who have the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to thrive as members of a complex society. Our rigorous academic program provides diverse and innovative learning opportunities for all students and experiences that extend learning beyond the walls of our schools focused on college and career readiness.
Our talented and dedicated teachers bring passion to education and embrace the academic, social, and emotional development of students. Coventry Public Schools has a goal to recruit and employ a diversified, qualified, and talented teaching staff.
Hartford residents entering Pre-Kindergarten Age 4 through Grade 10 and living in Zone 2 may apply to attend this school.
