Miami Country Day is a non-denominational, co-educational college preparatory school for grades PreK3-12 which promotes the Judeo-Christian ethic in a learning environment that values and respects each individual member of the school community. This is a community characterized by faith, hope, and love. 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. Miami Country Day School is committed to providing all students with experiences which will inspire them to fully develop their individual gifts. 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.
