Little did I know when I first stepped on campus for a job interview in July of 1998 I would still be here 25 years later. The Country School has helped me grow professionally and has helped my husband and me raise our three children. Living in Killingworth, we have choices. Great choices. But we chose Country School and have never looked back. At the ages of 21, 19, and 15, our children still reap the benefits they received at TCS: the confidence they gained, the skills they learned, the friendships they cherish. I’m not sure a week goes by when one of my children doesn’t credit TCS–the teachers, the traditions, the community, the curriculum–for some value added to their life. We are all better because of the choice my husband and I made in July 1998. Thank you, TCS, for all you have provided for our family. I am so grateful and I couldn’t imagine our lives without it.
