Enlightenment, in partnership with communities and families, works to provide all students the opportunity to achieve their academic potential, improve attendance and become responsible, independent, productive global citizens.  Enlightenment provides a dynamic, nurturing, challenging, and safe school environment that assists all students in building positive relationships while attaining their educational, personal/social/emotional, and career goals. In alignment with the Waterbury Public Schools Portrait of a Graduate, our Enlightenment students benefit from learning in a small setting with teachers and interventionists who develop lessons and deliver instruction in tiered settings aimed at meeting the learning needs of each student.  Courses at Enlightenment School are offered in half year increments but follow the same full year curriculum as listed in the Program of Studies.
