About Our Program

Founded in 1914 by pioneer educator Caroline Pratt, C&C is one of the oldest and most celebrated progressive schools in the country. Encouraged to think critically, creatively, and equitably in their academic and social pursuits, students at C&C learn by doing and are active participants in the school community and the larger world.

See the C&C approach in action in our View Book.

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.

We seek to create groups that are balanced in terms of gender, age, learning styles, and diversity. Families come to us from all boroughs of New York City, as well as from New Jersey and Westchester.

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, with the average class size of 16 children (fewer in the youngest groups). The teacher to child ratio ranges from 5:1 (IIs) to 15:1 (XIIIs).

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, gender, age, national and ethnic origin, or family style in administrative or educational policies, financial aid programs, and athletic or other school-related programs.

Block Workshops for Applicant Parents
Multiple Dates
Experience the significance of C&C’s Blocks program. Participants will have an opportunity to do hands-on work with blocks (the invention of our founder, Caroline Pratt), and in the process gain a deeper understanding of the many learning opportunities this material presents to children. There’s more to block work than meets the eye! These workshops are reserved for those who have submitted an application for admission.
