Country Classroom values a holistic learning environment focused on academics, critical thinking, compassion, joy, creativity and reverence for nature.  

We demonstrate our values with rigorous academic expectations that promote self-reflection.

We model compassion and kindness with each other and with the natural world. We include creative expressions of joy, such as music, art and dance as an integral part of our community.

We welcome non-conventional and playful approaches to problem solving and we treat both nature and people with kindness, gentleness and respect.  

We are a chartered not-for-profit non-public school through New York State Department of Education (but we are not a charter school).
