Cate Steel Interviews Suzi Lee Schell of The Waterford Country School on Stories Worth Telling
Cate Steel sits down with Suzi Lee Schell, Development Associate at Waterford Country School — a nonprofit residential and day school nestled on 320 acres in Quaker Hill, Waterford, CT.
Founded in 1922 by educators Eddie and Henry Schacht in Brooklyn, NY, Waterford Country School has grown into a nationally recognized model for special education, farm-based therapy, and residential youth programs. With a motto of "Everybody Is Somebody," the school serves children with special needs, learning disabilities, and trauma histories through 10 distinct programs and a staff of 160+.
In this episode, we explore:
✔ The school's remarkable origin story and move from Brooklyn to Connecticut
✔ The therapeutic power of farm animals and outdoor education
✔ The CARE (Cornell University) model and trauma-informed care
