A private, independent school for Beginners (age 3) through Grade 9, New Canaan Country School offers outstanding academics, taught by exceptional faculty in a creative and engaging environment. Our stunning 75-acre campus, five academic buildings and state-of-the-art facilities have been designed with children in mind to encourage curiosity and collaboration and foster a sense of community engagement. Our 30-acre woodland trails naturally become an extension of our classrooms. We understand that childhood is a vital but fleeting period in life and therefore design our curriculum to be age-appropriate.
