The Freedom to Learn in Different WaysOn Sept. 4, the magnet school, which is believed to be the nation’s first public elementary school built on a private university campus, opened its doors to 263 students from Hartford and six neighboring towns. Half of the students are from the city of Hartford, and half of those students are from the city’s North End.
