About Six to Six
Six to Six Interdistrict Magnet School, which includes the Thurgood Marshall Middle School for Social Justice, is a unique educational setting where high academic standards facilitate the development of lifelong learners, problem solvers, and independent thinkers.
The preschool through eighth grade school has evolved into a science, math, and technology magnet school through the 2007 U.S. Department of Education Magnet Schools Assistance Project grant. All students in K-8 participate in inquiry-based science activities through partnerships with the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Discovery Museum, Eli Whitney Museum, NASA, and The Jason Project. Students do scientific research with educators from both facilities in order to improve their science literacy and understanding of the world around them. Mathematics instruction uses a hands-on, conceptual approach. Technology is integrated throughout the school through the use of laptop computer labs and SmartBoard technology.
Modeled after Yale University's CoZi Model for School Reform, Six to Six was designed to meet the needs of the whole child and the needs of today's families. The curriculum includes instruction in Art, Music, Physical Education, Library Media, Spanish, and Chinese. We also value the importance of social emotional learning through our Responsive Classroom approach. To meet the needs of today's families, the school includes before and after school programs, full-time NAEYC accredited preschool and kindergarten program, a Family Resource Center, and a School Based Health Center.
