Early Learning through Grade Eight. Canton Country Day School offers children in Early Learning through Eighth Grade a solid educational foundation by cultivating an environment in which scholarship, responsibility, and respect for others flourish along with creativity, enthusiasm, and self-respect.
Within this stimulating academic environment, the school encourages children, with the support of their families, to: be active seekers of knowledge; examine their convictions honestly and embrace them humbly, both in work and deed; recognize themselves as participants in a common humanity and citizens of a common universe; discover their own creative powers and labor patiently to surpass ready achievement; and wonder at the mysteries that transcend their understanding and challenge their imagination. Dedicated to developing character and the abilities to think and communicate clearly, Canton Country Day seeks to fully prepare its graduates to meet the challenges of rigorous secondary school programs and to assume positions of responsibility in their schools and in their communities.
My son is currently in 5th grade and has attended CCDS since Kindergarten. I am beyond pleased with the education that he has received. The school holds multiple family functions throughout the school year. 2 of my favorites are the Holiday Sing-along before Winter Break and Grandparents day. The teacher's are amazing. They go above and beyond when it comes to teaching the children. They're always there to provide extra support when the student needs it. One thing CCDS provides that I don't see in other schools and are the in-depth music, art, and technology classes. When it came to having to implement remote learning due to Covid 19, the whole school stepped up to make the transition as smooth as possible. The teacher began using Google classroom and ran through a tutorial with the students before school ended for the week. There has been a lot of transparencies from the staff to the parents when it comes to the unknown and finding efficient and effective ways to navigate the children's learning. The school has been amazing to us. It will be hard to find another school that compares to them once it's time for us to leave.
