“When I came to Talcott, I was looking for a space with a small group of individuals that really push me outside of my comfort zone, outside of my academic abilities, so I could grow both as a student and as a person—and that’s what I really felt I achieved at the school.”

-Sia Reddy, TMA Class of 2022

“Talcott’s mission statement is the story of my life. I was inspired by Talcott Mountain. I’ve been able to live that dream that you have when you’re 14 or 15 years old, and conveying to students that they can live that dream—and fulfilling their own potential, their vision of what they can be—is what every school should have as a mission.”

-Stephen Fantone, PhD, Member, Board of Trustees; Member, National Academy of Engineering; Talcott Mountain Science Center Alumni
