TCS Mathletes Take the National Stage at the American Mathematics Competitions

We are proud of our TCS Mathletes who represented The Country School in the American Mathematics Competitions, a nationally recognized mathematics challenge that brings together students from across the country.

Because of You: Another Match Is Live

48 Hrs. $10K Match. Starting Now...

The momentum continues and it just got even bigger.

Inspired by the extraordinary generosity of the Barris Family’s initial matching challenge, another TCS community member has stepped forward with an exciting new opportunity. Beginning now, every gift made to the Soar into ’26 Campaign over the next 48 hours will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000, concluding this Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.

That gives us 48 hours to raise $10,000 and turn it into $20,000 for TCS. This moment is only possible because of the incredible response we’ve already seen. Thank you to everyone who has given to the campaign, to those who gave generously, to those who chose to give again, and to everyone who encouraged family members, friends, and loved ones to join in. The enthusiasm, belief, and pride behind this effort have been felt across our entire community.

This is what happens when our community rallies. Generosity inspires generosity, and momentum builds on momentum. We hope you’ll join us in these next 48 hours to help us fully unlock this match and continue investing in the students, teachers, and programs that make The Country School so special.

Some families have reached out and asked me if pledges count toward this challenge - the answer is yes - and all gifts are 100% tax-deductible. If making a gift all at once feels like a stretch, our Business Office is happy to set up a recurring donation schedule to make your contribution more manageable.

We also gratefully accept gifts of stock and donor-advised funds, and we are happy to assist with those arrangements as well.

Let’s keep this going and soaring together for our students.

Help Us Reach 100% Class Participation

Let’s get every class to 100%.

First Grade is leading the way and is positioned to become the first class to reach 100% participation, a huge milestone worth celebrating. Now, we invite families across all grades to join in and help us get every class across the finish line.

Participation at any level matters. Every gift, every pledge, and every family who takes part strengthens our community and brings us closer to our shared goal of 100% participation.
