New Canaan Country School Reviews
During such a difficult year, the teachers created many joyful learning experiences. Some of my kids favorite projects included a geography project about the United States for my younger child and performing 'The Odyssey' for my older child. In addition to their academics in the classroom, they we fortunate to have access to a newly opened athletics complex, outdoor classroom experiences in the woods, sledding on snowy days, and learning how to make maple syrup from the trees on the campus.
At the end of the day, Country School is a place where I feel that childhood is celebrated, learning is joyful, and the whole child matters. I am thankful for the friendships that I have made there as well.
