Tuition and transportation costs to attend the Aquaculture/Agricultural Educations program are paid by the sending town.  We are a comprehensive public high school and a Connecticut State Agriculture/Aquaculture Science & Technology Education (ASTE) Center.

Interest in a career in aquaculture, agriculture, marine sciences, and/or marine trades and technology is the most important reason to attend Sound School. Our ASTE programs incorporate a hands-on, active curriculum that integrates subject area skills and knowledge, applied skills in the core subjects of mathematics, science and English/Language Arts while incorporating leadership skills and work-based learning experiences through the National FFA Organization and supervised agriculture experiences.

We will begin accepting applications for the class of 2029 on August 14th.

The application deadline for the class of 2029 is December 20, 2024. Any applications received after the deadline will be kept on file on our waiting list in case a spot becomes available. Thank you.
