Many school choice events are scheduled each year in an effort to allow students and their families the opportunity to explore the many CREC school options. The school choice lottery begins accepting applications for the 20/21 school year on November 1, 2019. A listing of 2019/20 school choice events can be found at the below sites:

The
CREC Civic Leadership High School is one of 5 public magnet high schools managed by the Capitol Region Education
Council (CREC) in Greater Hartford. CREC Schools provide students across the
region with the chance to identify what fascinates them and pursue it
through opportunities that they won't find anywhere else.
Students
interested in attending CREC Schools apply through the CT Department of Education's Regional School Choice
Office (RSCO). The RSCO serves Hartford and suburban students who are interested in
public school choice options in the Greater Hartford Region. Any student who
resides in Connecticut can apply to our tuition-free schools by following a
simple process.
Using
a common RSCO application, applicants for CREC schools and other inter-district
magnet, charter, and regional programs, can rank up to five school choice
options. Accepted students should visit the RSCO website and either accept or decline their selection. Students who are not
offered a seat in the initial round of the placement process are placed on a waitlist.
Families who are placed on a waitlist should accept their waitlist
placement by the deadline to secure their waitlist position. Available seats
are offered to students on the waitlist through the end of September each
year.
