The start of a CREC Magnet Pathway
CREC’s Preschool at Progress Drive is an extension of three CREC magnet schools: Academy of Aerospace and Engineering Elementary (Rocky Hill), Glastonbury East Hartford Magnet School (Glastonbury), and University of Hartford Magnet School (Hartford). When applying to Progress Drive, families have the unique opportunity to select a direct pathway to continue the magnet experience in kindergarten – grade 5 at one of these three magnet schools. On the RSCO application, the following three options are available for CREC’s Preschool at Progress Drive:
- CREC Preschool at Progress Drive, Academy of Aerospace and Engineering Elementary Pathway
- CREC Preschool at Progress Drive, Glastonbury East Hartford Magnet School Pathway
- CREC Preschool at Progress Drive, University of Hartford Magnet School Pathway
Upon enrollment, Progress Drive students will be placed in classrooms with peers who share the same pathway, which means they will have established friendships when transitioning to the new school for kindergarten. Classrooms will also incorporate the theme of the pathway school.
