THE COUNTRY SCHOOL INCORPORATED

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. THE TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINES OF READING, WRITING, MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE FORM THE CORE OF OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM. BECAUSE WE SEEK TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD, THE SCHOOL IS ALSO COMMITTED TO A VITAL ARTS PROGRAM, STRONG OFFERINGS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND CHALLENGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUAL GROWTH. OUR TEACHING IS SPIRITED AND PROMOTES ACTIVE LEARNING. WE PROVIDE EXPERIENCES WHICH ARE SENSITIVE TO DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. WE GUIDE STUDENTS TO DISCOVER THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AND DEVELOP CONFIDENCE.
