For nearly a century, Country School has enjoyed a tradition of academic excellence in an environment in which each family plays an active role in the school community. When parents give time in the classroom, volunteer for the Parents’ Association and generously support the Annual Fund, their participation helps Country School fulfill its mission. Thanks to the help of friends like you, Country School is a place that “inspires students to be lifelong learners with the courage and confidence to make a positive contribution to the world.”
The Annual Fund is the only ongoing, annual fundraising activity that touches every member of the New Canaan Country School community. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Country School education. The Annual Fund “bridges the gap” between tuition payments and income from endowment—and the actual cost of educating each student. When you give to the Annual Fund, you give to the people, the programs and the place! And, unlike tuition, gifts to the Annual Fund are fully tax-deductible.
