Countryside Day School Photo #2 - At the primary level, children are also learning while outside! Our All-day-all-year classroom is responsible for maintaining their own garden.
Countryside Day School Photo #3 - The elementary students at Countryside often offer tutoring to younger counterparts. The older child gets to reinforce his knowledge and learn how to help appropriately, and the younger child gets the support he needs for his learning, as well as the growing relationship with an older child.
