Toquam offers a child centered approach to thematic learning which stems from The Bank Street College of Education philosophy and curricula model. Social Studies is the core curriculum through which academic subjects and the arts are integrated.
The magnet school program at Toquam began in 1968 as a program of choice for the community. Students attending the school come from all areas of Stamford's beautifully diverse city. They represent families from a broad range of socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic, and language backgrounds. Toquam, along with Stamford's other magnet schools, provides opportunities for educational choice.
The instructional program is rigorous. It encourages creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and individual development. Our professional staff designs and facilitates learning opportunities for students to acquire strong academic competencies, build community, grow in responsibility, and develop respect for self and others. Educational trips, cultural enrichment activities, peer tutoring, student run projects, before and after school support programs, and interest clubs are all part of the school day.
