Welcome to
New Canaan Country School!

I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore schools or already imagining your child walking our wooded trails, I want you to know this: at Country School, we believe childhood is something to be honored, and celebrated. It’s not a race to the next step — it’s a time of joyful discovery, growth, and possibility.

On our 85-acre campus, children are free to ask big questions, take creative risks, and be themselves. They’re guided by teachers who truly know them — who understand how to challenge and support in equal measure. From our youngest learners to our ninth-grade leaders, students here are growing not only in skill and confidence but in kindness and character, too.

Every family’s journey is different, and it’s our privilege to walk alongside you as you imagine what’s possible for your child. I hope you’ll reach out — by phone, video, or in person — so we can learn more about your hopes and dreams and help you discover what makes Country School such a special place to grow up.
 
Warmly,
