Carver begins its second year and completes the first month of this new school year successfully with the first annual Pumpkin Treat Extravaganza for the Classical Studies Magnet Academy (CSMA) students in Bridgeport.
In all our programs across Norwalk and in Bridgeport we highly value Parent Engagement. 26 CSMA parents assisted with the Pumpkin Treat Extravaganza and 42 parents donated treats for this event.
See all the recent videos and photos HERE and HERE of the Pumpkin Treat Extravaganza and of our hands-on, project-based enrichment learning opportunities at CSMA!
CSMA is a "themed" Pre-K to 8th grade public school in Bridgeport’s West Side neighborhood for more than 400 students. Its curriculum of classical literature, art and music utilizes the Paideia instructional methodology (traditional lecturing, coaching, and the Socratic method of extended discussion). Instruction is project-based, involving frequent assemblies, presentations and field trips. CSMA occupies a 123-year-old structure, the oldest school still in use by the school district.
Carver after-school programming at CSMA extends the school day with hands-on and project-based learning opportunities. Carver also brings in to the school many professionals from the area who are experts in their respective fields, such as in the STEAM subjects. Some of these partners are Bagwell Academy of Martial Arts, Discovery Museum, Mad Science, Maritime Aquarium, Stepping Stones Museum, Kids Fashion, and the Scratch Coding Club.
Here is the CSMA students showing their gratitude for Carver’s support
