Our Mission:

O’Connell School is committed to providing a challenging transdisciplinary, inquiry based program to educate every child, every day!


We Believe:

  • Embedding and reinforcing the learner profile attributes across the whole school develops a collaborative community.
  • Incorporating student agency encourages the development of socially and emotionally confident life-long learners.
  • Dr. Thomas O'Connell Elementary is an integral part of our dynamic East Hartford community.
