Where every child is known, loved, and inspired to grow.

A Place for Every Child to Thrive
The City School was founded by a family who believes in doing things the right way, with love, integrity, and care. This is not just a place we run; it's a place we send our own children and grandchildren. Our classrooms are filled with laughter, curiosity, and the kind of care that helps children feel known and valued.
Every corner of The City School is designed to nurture growth and independence. We believe children learn best when they are trusted to explore, create, and try things for themselves, guided by teachers who meet them with warmth, patience, and respect.

Our Approach
The City School is our preschool campus, thoughtfully designed for children ages 2.5 and up. At The City School, learning is rooted in curiosity and guided by trust. Children are encouraged to explore the world through play, imagination, and hands-on experiences that build real-life skills and lasting confidence.
Our classrooms are calm, joyful spaces where children move with purpose, care for their environment, and discover how capable they truly are. We focus on the whole child, their mind, heart, and growing sense of independence, knowing that every small moment of learning leads to something greater.
