School Notes Overview: |
The Country Day School was established in 1982 to provide a thorough, well rounded education for students in grades Smart Start (3 year old), Junior Kindergarten through ninth in a closely-knit, nurturing environment. Academics, individual attention, development of strong character, and traditional values are emphasized. Thus, each student is presented with the opportunity to rise to his or her own level of excellence. The academic preparation must be accompanied by spiritual, moral, physical, and personal development. In other words, the "3 R's" of academic growth must be accompanied by the "3 R's" of personal development - reason, respect, and responsibility. Each student must respect the feelings, thoughts, and ideas of others; he must assume responsibilty for his own actions; he must develop the ability to reason. Furthermore, he must learn to work cooperatively with others towards the mutual goals for the fulfillment of common objectives.
