We believe in the education of the whole person, recognizing that every individual is endowed with six potentials: the intellectual, spiritual, social, aesthetic, physical, and emotional.
Miami Country Day School values and celebrates the diversity of our community because we understand the way in which it increases the richness of the entire educational experience.

Our academic program is designed to prepare our graduates for a college or university education suitable to their needs and demonstrated abilities.
It is our goal that all students seek, practice, promote, and enjoy the highest qualities of human existence, which include respect for the power of knowledge, the necessity for altruism, the value of artistic and physical endeavor, and the joy found through spiritual peace.
