"C&C's pivot to in-person learning was meticulous, sensitive, and efficient. The program has retained the spirit of C&C's unique educational traditions while being vigilant around safety. Our family could not be happier." — C&C Parent
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.
