Founded in 1914, City and Country School serves children aged 2 through 8th grade and is the pinnacle of progressive education. Our founder, Caroline Pratt, literally wrote the book on the gold standard of educating children: I Learn From Children. Her innovative methodologies are used throughout the world today. Our community is diverse and welcoming. Our teachers, life-long learners at heart, are champions of their craft. Our students are curious, confident, and happy. Lower School Director Jane Clarke says, "Our children can't wait to get to school; they skip through the passageways. They know they belong here and have multiple ways to share who they are."
