Watkinson School is a private co-educational independent day school in Hartford, Connecticut, United States. Watkinson is situated on Bloomfield Avenue adjacent to the University of Hartford. It serves students from 6th through 12th grade. Watkinson also offers a postgraduate option, called The Academy at Watkinson, which allows students who have just graduated from high school to spend an additional year taking courses at Watkinson as well as the University of Hartford.[2] Watkinson is the oldest independent school located within the city limits of Hartford.[citation needed]
Currently,[when?] Watkinson enrolls 240 students who come from 37 towns all around the Greater Hartford and Pioneer Valley area.
Watkinson is a founding member of the Coalition of Essential Schools. It is one of only five schools to be named a Lead School for this coalition.
