The Maritime Aquarium is a longtime Carver before and after-school and summer program partner.
They are integral to our STEAM project-based and hands-on learning experiences.
Our students also regularly visit the aquarium where they get to know the five seals there, Ariel, Leila, Polly, Rasal, and Tillie — and much else! These seals have even more room now to swim and relax now that have the new addition just opened that evokes their natural environment: a classic New England cove.
Here are West Rocks rising 6th graders being introduced to their new school — and Long Island Sound sea creatures — by Michael Richards, the school’s 6th grade Social Studies Teacher, who also leads our summer and after-school programs there.
Carver summer transition programs are designed to help incoming 6th and 9th-grade students transition into Norwalk’s four middle and two high schools.
Programming includes individualized instruction, parental involvement, small group learning experiences, diverse enrichment activities, free transportation, and full-day activities benefiting working families.
Students learn the basics of navigating their respective new schools. The incoming 9th-graders learn how to read a transcript, understand graduation requirements, earn credits in courses, and look ahead to potential career options. Students use Naviance/Family Connection to develop an individualized Student Success Plan.
