The foundation of the school philosophy is summed up in the meaning of the school’s name. “Synergy” means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and this definition reflects the philosophy that by working together, much more can be accomplished than if any one group or person is working alone.

We here at Synergy are dedicated to providing a small personalized learning environment that helps motivate students who have been disengaged with the educational system. As a learning community, we can help students from diverse backgrounds develop the values, self-discipline, work habits, academic and life skills needed to achieve success. We believe that all students can learn and strive to find their individual gifts, their personal aspirations, and their leadership potential.

As “Connecticut’s Premier Alternative High School”, with over 30 years in operation, we are focused to meet the ever changing demands of the 21^st century and “No Child Left Behind”. We welcome you with the hope that together we can develop the professional learning community in which all members learn.
