  • Recommended February 14,2013 - I am a parent of two Upper School students at CCDS and we have had an amazing experience since coming in Kindergarten (one in JK). I have been very involved in the Parents'' Association so have seen what goes on behind the scenes and can honestly tell you that this school and the administrators, faculty and staff live by their mission and make choices always that are in the best interests of the students. The quality of teaching is top notch, the sports and arts programs are extensive and well run, the college guidance department alone is worth the price of tuition! It''s a caring, family environment and community of adults coming together to nurture and grow our children. I highly recommend this school!*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended February 14,2013 - Country Day has been an excellent school for our 3 children. Each has a different learning style which their teachers have identified, embraced and nurtured.

Make Summer a Special Time! Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
