The Benefits of an N-8 School


City and Country offers a unique educational experience that nurtures children from early childhood through the pivotal adolescent years. Unlike traditional K-12 schools, our approach allows our oldest students, aged 13 and 14, to flourish as leaders without the influence of older peers without the distraction of older students.

 

A Rich and Diverse Learning Environment

From the youngest members who benefit from a diverse community and specialized classes in science, music, art, and woodshop, to our adolescents who gain authentic confidence and leadership skills, every child at C&C thrives in a consistent educational environment that values their growth from year to year. This continuity fosters "big thinkers" who are resourceful, confident, and prepared for their educational journey beyond our school.

As they prepare to transition to high school at age 13, our students have a deep understanding of their learning styles and preferences. They actively participate in selecting their next educational environment, considering factors like school size, philosophy, and teacher relationships. This early autonomy not only empowers them but also sets a strong foundation for future decision-making, including college choices.

Preserving Childhood and Developing Confidence

At City and Country, we believe in preserving childhood while preparing children for the challenges ahead, ensuring they emerge as well-rounded individuals ready to make meaningful contributions to the world.
