Pre-K through 9 By Design

INVESTING IN THE KEY TWELVE YEARS

Country School's program is Pre-K through Grade 9 by design. The ages of three through 15 are among the most crucial years of a child's academic, creative, moral and physical development. These are the formative years when the foundation must be set properly. Throughout the journey, students are equipped with exactly what they need to take the next leap: from subject to subject, grade to grade, and from Country School to the nation's best high schools, colleges and beyond.

AN INTENTIONAL JOURNEY, DEVOTED TO LIFELONG SUCCESS

A Country School education is deliberately designed to bring out the unique, personal strengths of every child. By embracing the very concept of childhood, we have created an academic program that allows students to progress naturally and confidently from day to day, and year to year—prepared, grounded, joyful and emboldened. Because what a child learns, sees and feels today is the very fiber of what he or she will become.

DESTINATION: BOLD OUTCOMES

At the end of their Country School journey, our students have the knowledge, self-awareness and confidence to engage the world head-on and to craft fulfilling, vibrant futures. For nearly 100 years our students have gone on to attend some of the most competitive secondary schools in the nation. The students are marked by their preparedness, natural leadership and their ability not only to seize opportunity—but to make it their own.
