At The Country School, we are committed to creating an environment which is both academically challenging and responsive to the social and emotional needs of growing children.
Encouraging close relationships among students and teachers and cooperation between home and school, we foster a feeling of family.
The school community strives to nurture each child, valuing his or her unique gifts in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
At the most elementary level, the purpose of The Country School community is to establish an environment in which the primary relationships on campus can flourish, that between students and teachers.
Thus, we believe strongly that the worth of all TCS initiatives must be measured by how well they support and benefit student-teacher interactions.
