The Albanian-American community in Connecticut has just welcomed a new gem: the opening of the Albanian School in Hartford by the Pan-Albanian Federation of America, Vatra. This exciting initiative is set to become a cultural and educational beacon for Albanian families, offering children the chance to learn the Albanian language, history, and traditions while staying connected to their roots.

Located at 33 Church St, Rocky Hill, CT 06067, the school is already making waves as a vital resource for the community. Every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, children aged 6 to 14 will gather to immerse themselves in the richness of Albanian culture. From language lessons to traditional songs, dances, and arts, the program is designed to be both educational and entertaining, ensuring that learning feels like a joyful celebration of heritage.

The grand opening was a moment of pride for the Albanian community, attended by prominent figures such as Vatra President Ilir Gjomarkaj, Professor Milaim Tahiri, producer Nazim Salihu (Noli TV), and Anxhelo Kuka, all of whom have played key roles in promoting Albanian culture in the U.S. The event also saw the special presence of Rocky Hill Mayor Lisa J. Marotta, who showed her support for this cultural and educational initiative, highlighting its importance in strengthening ties within the Albanian-American community.

Leading the school’s teaching staff is Fatmira Hasaj, a dedicated and passionate educator who is committed to passing on the Albanian language and arts to the next generation. Her enthusiasm and expertise promise to make the school a nurturing environment for young minds eager to explore their heritage.
