Alexandria Country Day School

Alexandria Country Day School is a dynamic independent school for children from kindergarten through the 8th grade. The educational experience of a K-8 school has been shown to be one of the healthiest and most productive for all children, and the ACDS community exemplifies all the elements of the best K-8 schools: small classes, engaged and experienced teachers, an academically-challenging curriculum, and an active and supportive parent community. With the confidence and self-esteem a K-8 school provides each child, it is no surprise that children who graduate from ACDS are accepted and excel in some of the most competitive high schools in our area. Our vision for each academic year is clear: we want to bring out the best in each student—academically and socially, as athletes, artists, writers, scientists, and contributing members of the community.
