Outside Educators
Annually, more than 100 educators from around the world visit C&C’s campus to experience what happens here firsthand.
Caroline Pratt’s vision of progressive education extends beyond City and Country School. To share this approach, C&C offers Educator Visits, allowing teachers and administrators to observe our programs in action, and Block Connection, bringing hands-on training to your campus. For more information, please email educatorvisits@cityandcountry.org.
I Learn From Children
Caroline Pratt’s influential autobiography, "I Learn From Children," continues to be celebrated as a guiding light in progressive education worldwide. According to The New York Times, it is "a profound testament to the power of observing and learning from children." Discover more about this seminal work by accessing a recently-updated print edition and a free audiobook download.
Educator Visits
During these visits, educators can experience a snapshot of our daily schedule, which may include activities like block building, instructional learning, woodworking, yard work, our jobs program, and more. Please note, it may not be possible to accommodate specific requests due to scheduling constraints.
Visits occur from mid-October to mid-May on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with morning (9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) and afternoon (12:00–3:00 p.m.) sessions available. Full-day visits are possible upon request.
To ensure minimal disruption, please schedule visits at least three weeks in advance (one month for groups of five or more). Following the visit, educators are invited to provide feedback to help us improve our offerings.
Block Connection
The Block Connection was founded in 2005 by City and Country School to honor Caroline Pratt’s educational vision and revolutionize children’s learning methods citywide. It is now operated by the Caroline Pratt Center for Progressive Education and can be found here.
