    We have three children in their fifth year at New Canaan Country School and I'm also an alum. I cannot say enough good things about it! The teachers are engaged, delivering a curriculum that is hands-on and appropriately challenging, preparing students well for competitive high schools. The teachers really get to know your kids. They take joy in their successes and work with you to help them succeed. Daily sports, broad exposure to the arts, a wide range of extracurriculars, and many opportunities for leadership and service throughout the journey – all of these enhance the core academic experience to create students who are well-rounded, intellectually curious and socially aware. The strong sense of community helps teach manners / respect for others, community values and social skills. The beautiful 80-acre campus becomes part of the curriculum as the children tap maple trees for syrup or explore the woodlands in science. I could go on … Love this place!

    We are so grateful to be part of the NCCS community! Our girls have been at NCCS for the past 11 years and you definitely cannot put a price tag on the amazing education they have received year after year. The teachers are always engaged and available if your child has a question. Class sizes are small. Resilience, time management, learning how to advocate and public speaking are all skills intentionally interwoven in the everyday educational program. It's time for our oldest daughter to leave NCCS this year and she is well beyond prepared for her next educational experience thanks to her time at NCCS!
    As a parent, I could not be happier with NCCS. The community is welcoming and vibrant. The teachers are dedicated, warm and nurturing. They know how to motivate, inspire and educate each student to his or her unique full potential while making learning fun. The academics are engaging. The stellar value of NCCS academics lives in its innovative whole-student approach. My children have become confident, curious and capable. They love their friends and teachers and look forward to going to school every day. Children at NCCS are happy!
