New Canaan Country School Reviews
First and foremost, the teachers have been outstanding. Each year, we find ourselves amazed at the quality of instruction, personal attention and genuine care we receive from the faculty. As an example, he had a teacher several years ago who created a journal with our son. After handing in a writing assignment, our son would receive back a written response consisting of multiple paragraphs critiquing his work. Our son would be expected to respond and update the assignment. By the end of the year, we had a record of their correspondence which showed the path of our son's writing improvement over the year. I don't know how this teacher found the time to provide such personalized guidance, but it has been instrumental to our son's academic development.
