The Open Choice program aims to empower students by providing them with access to high-quality educational opportunities. By breaking down barriers of racial, ethnic and economic isolation, we strive to create a more equitable and inclusive learning environment. Our goal is to foster strong interpersonal skills, critical thinking, and technology proficiency, preparing students to thrive in an interconnected world.

Simsbury schools offer a wide range of guaranteed experiences, including sports, after-school clubs, and activities to enrich students' lives and provide opportunities for personal growth and development.

Simsbury schools has participated in the Open Choice program for 50 years. To learn more, please view this video.
