It’s Official: We’re Moving to Westport!

We are thrilled to announce that Cajal Academy will be moving to a new location in Westport, CT before the end of the school year!

Since we launched our school in 2019, we have been on the lookout for an opportunity to move closer to southern Fairfield County and the Westchester, NY line…and now it’s here! Over the next several weeks, we will be moving to the town of Westport — in time for our summer program!

Our new location is easily accessible from 95, close to the town elementary schools and a short ride from the public library and downtown areas. This will open up lots of ways to expand the field work components of our project-based learning and even the potential for “open campus” lunch privileges for our high school students! Meanwhile, the building is right across Riverside Avenue from the Saugatuck River and right next to a peaceful, babbling brook—both of which we look forward to integrating into our environmental science and art curricula.

More like a townhouse than a suite, our new home will have a dedicated entrance into a comfortable space with an architectural feel to it and skylights throughout, giving kids the immediate sense that they’re “home.” At the same time, we’ll have all the benefits of a larger building within which we can expand as our cohort organically grows to include the new programming levels we’ve announced for the 2022-23 school year. In fact, there are ideal art and athletics add-on spaces that we’re hoping to integrate in the months ahead!

Please stay tuned for more information and opportunities to come see our new space in person!
