Head of School Welcome
Every child and every family is one-of-a-kind. It is by understanding each particular family and child, that we can best guide a child’s learning. Signing your child up in a school like ours is the beginning of a growth journey for the whole family.
Our Story
Founded in 2012 by Sarah Cardelús, a Spanish-American mother of twins, who wanted to create a learning environment with a unique personality in which children 3 to16 years old could be themselves, free of the notion that they have to be a certain way to have a place in this world. Sarah wanted to create a school where children could experience that there are many ways to reach the same end, that experimentation, failures, collaboration, hard work and determination are what it takes to succeed. A place where success is defined by each person for him or herself. A place where children hear “yes”.
City Country School

loves being a small school
Being small permits us:
to consider all our families in our decision making
to see each student as an individual
to provide opportunities for participation to all our students
to acknowledge and engage with the opinions and ideas of our students
to create a warm and inclusive community
to be nimble and dynamic in our responses to the needs of our families
to come to know each family´s personality and culture
to come to know each child´s strengths and interests, as well as challenges
to respond to those strengths and interests with opportunities, while scaffolding their challenges
to care for details
to cook our own lunches from scratch every day
