The Long Ridge School

At our private school serving the Stamford, Greenwich, and New Canaan, CT areas, our teachers help each child build a confident sense of self as a unique and capable person in the world and foster caring and respectful interactions within the classroom community. Our programs nurture intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and creative expression, and our children become active and joyful learners who are eager to make sense of the world around them.

We have the advantage of being a part of wider school environment providing the children with the benefit of resources including music, library, and physical education, which form a regular part of our program. Outdoor play and exploration of our wooded campus is part of the daily routine. Our teachers offer a warm and caring environment for these youngest of learners, fostering respectful social interactions within the classroom community, in a manner consistent with developmental norms and expectations. The program we follow at our private school nurtures intellectual curiosity, collaboration, creative expression, and, as appropriate, the development of expressive language. Our children become active and joyful learners who are eager to make sense of the world around them.

The program builds a child’s confident sense of self as a unique and capable person in the world.
