WELCOME TO NEW CANAAN COUNTRY SCHOOL! 

We’re delighted to have you here and eager to learn about your hopes and dreams for your child. At Country School, we respect childhood in itself as an integral part of life to be lived fully and happily and strive to create an environment where every individual is valued and heard. 

Nestled on our picturesque 85-acre campus, our indoor and outdoor spaces buzz with lively interactions and deep connections. Our academic, artistic and athletic curriculum is deliberately designed to meet the needs of children ages 3-15. Led by experienced educators, in small class settings, our hands-on approach encourages collaboration and reflection. 

In our supportive environment, we uphold high academic standards while prioritizing wellness and character development. Your child’s growth and happiness are our top priorities. 

As graduates, our students emerge as confident leaders and compassionate advocates, ready to contribute meaningfully to their future endeavors. 

Choosing the right education is crucial, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s begin this journey together!

Warmly,
Beth O’Brien
