This is the official PTO page of Charter Oak International Academy in West Hartford, CT.

The Primary Years Program (PYP) is one of the four IB programs, and is designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It encourages independence, and asks that students take responsibility for their own learning. The program addresses each student’s academic, social and emotional well-being. It is a framework guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from all subject areas:

Who We Are

Where We Are in Place and Time

How We Express Ourselves

How the World Works

How We Organize Ourselves

Sharing the Planet

The Charter Oak PTO is bringing the holiday magic back with our annual Holiday Craft & Vendor Fair — and we’re looking for amazing vendors to join us. This event is all about celebrating creativity, supporting local entrepreneurs, and filling the season with handmade joy. If you or someone you know has a small business, a craft, or a unique product to share, we’d love to have you be part of this special community event. December 12th is going to shine.

🍕Free pizza, drinks, and fun! Say no more!

Join us next week to meet more of our community, enjoy some pizza, and send the kids to the gym to play while you hear more about the PTO projects this year, tell us what you want to see done with PTO funds, and hear from the UConn Health team that is working with us to keep our kids healthy. It'll be a great night!

THIS WEEK!

Screen time — we're all figuring it out as we go, right? Here are two low-key events to help families tackle it together. Come to one, or come to both!

Part 1: Screenagers: Elementary Age Edition
📅 Thursday, April 23
📍 Charter Oak International Academy

5:15 PM — Alternative Device Fair + Pizza 🍕
6:15 PM — Film Screening + Expert Panel

Kick off the evening with pizza and a chance to explore some kid-friendly tech alternatives. Then settle in for a screening of Screenagers:

Elementary Age Edition — a film that digs into the real challenges kids (and parents!) face around screens, from social media pressure to classroom distractions. Afterward, a panel of experts will be on hand to answer your questions.

Part 2: From Screenagers to Tech Contracts
📅 Thursday, April 30 | 6–7 PM
📍 Whiting Lane Elementary School

This one is all about taking action together! You and your child will sit down with local high school principals and — using guided templates and expert insights — actually create your own family digital contract. It's a real, usable plan you'll walk away with. No homework required. 😊

We'd love to see you at one or both events!
