The Magical Music songs, shows, and singing groups both entertain and educate. Equally important, they are designed to encourage an ongoing conversation between children and their parents as children begin to deal with life’s more challenging issues and develop as members of our community.

It all happens on our beautiful 75-acre campus, where 630 children, ages 3 to 15, eagerly arrive each morning from all over Fairfield and Westchester counties. Teachers, students, administrators and parents together form a diverse, friendly community in which everyone is expected to take risks, take responsibility and take on new challenges.

The New Canaan High School Senior Internship Program (SIP) is in its seventh year and is flourishing.  The program’s purpose is to expose students to the workplace outside of their formal educational experience.  Briefly, the program is designed as follows:

·  SIP consists of a four-week, unpaid internship, usually the last four weeks of the academic year. 

·  Intern on-site work hours will be from 20 – 25 hours per week according to the schedule determined by the work site supervisor and the work site’s needs.

·  The program is designed to operate during school hours (with interns working their hours sometime between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.) but other arrangements may be made with particular students.

·  Students will be matched as closely as possible with internships in their skill and interest areas.

·  Students will receive a ¼ credit added to their transcript upon completion of the internship.

New Canaan Mounted Troop, Inc. (NCMT) has devoted to building leadership, responsibility and confidence in youth through sound horsemanship. It provides a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience that emphasizes teamwork and follows a curriculum focused on horsemanship and equine care instruction. All activities are conducted in a family atmosphere that encourages participation in community service, a feature rooted in the history of the organization.

NCMT takes pride in its unique approach to teaching horsemanship through hands-on experience. All programs are designed to encourage children’s personal growth by promoting fundamental values such as leadership, responsibility, confidence, work ethic and teamwork in a safe, fun, family atmosphere. These are not only important around the barn but are also valuable through life: they can help each child excel in his or her future.

New Canaan Mounted Troop, Inc. (“NCMT”) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and charitable youth organization. Founded in 1939 by Margaret Cabell Self, NCMT is the last remaining unit of the Junior Cavalry of America. Our mission statement is to build leadership, responsibility and confidence in youth through sound horsemanship. Children ages 7 and up are enrolled in a 10-month-long Full Cadet Program that offers a rich curriculum in equine care, hunt-seat riding, and showmanship. NCMT proudly offers the "Super Troopers" Therapeutic Riding Program for children and adults with special needs. Summer Camp and Adult Riding Programs are also offered.

Most horses and ponies are owned by NCMT, and all are shared amongst our riders. What makes NCMT unique is that it relies on donated horses and ponies for its instruction programs. The majority of our horses and ponies have come to us because either their owners could no longer care for them, or they are retiring from respectable show careers. Our horses and ponies receive a second lease on life, as teachers, to our cadets. Captain Hailey Miller recently described NCMT as “Giving Horses A Second Chance So Kids Can Have A First.”

The museum also runs the ELLI Lab School, providing full- and part-day, year-round preschool for children 3 to 5 years old. The museum can be rented for birthday parties and or facility rentals.
