Rogers International School

What Rogers International School does

Rogers International School is a public, interdistrict K-8 magnet school located at 202 Blachley Road in Stamford, Connecticut, operating as a unit of the Stamford Public Schools district and funded by district and Connecticut interdistrict magnet allocations with no tuition charged. The school enrolls approximately 850 students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 and is an authorized International Baccalaureate World School delivering both the Primary Years Programme (PYP, authorized 2005) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP, authorized Fall 2012). Its academic product also includes a Language Acquisition track in Spanish and Mandarin beginning in Kindergarten, an IB Design Program with a dedicated Makerspace and Video Production Studio, Algebra I and Geometry acceleration, and a Virtual High School option for 8th graders.

The school's technology stack is built around a 1:1 device program spanning all K-8 grades, integrated with a broad set of third-party learning platforms (Google Classroom, Lexia Core5/PowerUp, IXL, Khan Academy, BrainPOP, Duolingo, Code.org, Naviance, Clever SSO) and a 'six-to-six' extended-day schedule supported by the ROSCCO before- and after-school program. The business model is publicly funded rather than commercial: enrollment flows through the Stamford Public Schools Magnet School Lottery administered on the Infosnap platform, drawing applicants from Stamford and surrounding districts, and there are no disclosed tuition, application fees, or commercial product revenue streams. Strawberry Hill School operates as a K-8 extension of Rogers within the same district framework.
