Introduction

The vibrant, diverse, and supportive Country School community is a place where students are able to explore their unique voices, traits, and talents, and where each voice is honored and respected. Focusing on project-based curriculum, and fostering emotional intelligence, TCS students engage in learning that is collaborative, empowering, and revelatory, while developing self-awareness, personal character, and resilience. Students do not receive homework until the second semester of Fifth Grade and, instead of assignments, have the freedom to let their interests and passions guide their learning at home.
