Admissions

City and Country is a co-educational school for children ages two – 13 (Groups 2s – 13s). Founded in 1914 by pioneer educator Caroline Pratt, C&C is one of the oldest and most celebrated progressive schools in the country.

The School is located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, on a landmark block on West 13th Street. Housed in seven brownstones, including the adjacent courtyards, City and Country enjoys a lovely campus with abundant outdoor space, character and natural light.

Students typically enter C&C in the 2s, 3s and 5s, although we accept applications at all other age groups on a rolling basis. There are currently two or three groups at each age level through the 11s, with the average class size of 16 children (fewer in the youngest groups). The recent purchase of an adjoining brownstone will enable C&C to expand, one year at a time, to double groups at every age through the 13s. The teacher to child ratio is excellent.

In Admissions we seek to create groups that are balanced in terms of gender, age and diversity. Families come to us from all boroughs of New York City as well as New Jersey. We welcome a range of applicants and look forward to meeting you and to sharing City and Country with you.

City and Country School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, or family style to all the rights, privileges and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, or family style in administrative or educational policies, financial aid programs, and athletic or other school-related programs.
