The Cincinnati Country Day School community honored two alumni during the 2023 Alumni Breakfast: Dick Durand `73 was named this year’s recipient of the Virtue in Action Award and Steve Lazarus `81 was selected as the recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award.

Cincinnati Country Day School is ranked the #1 best private high school, #1 best private K-12 school, and #1 best high school for STEM in the Cincinnati area.

We have long known that in order to thrive, students need to develop a sense of mastery, autonomy, and community. And while our methods will continue to evolve in response to a rapidly changing world, those objectives will remain the same at Country Day.  

This past fall, Levi was awarded not one but three Congressional Awards – bronze, silver, and gold. Only 550 people in the United States receive the gold medal each year.

During Convocation, which is the school's opening ceremony, Head of Upper School Jenn Weinheimer announced the 2022-23 class scholars - the top scholars in their grades.

Phil Geier `66 is one of our country’s preeminent leaders in international education, and his vision for the 21st century led to the creation of what has since become the largest privately funded international scholarship program in the world—the Davis United World College Scholars Program.

Senior Sigourney Smyth has spent almost her entire academic career at Country Day. In the fall, she plans to attend James Madison University to major in biology.

Country Day is known for having a challenging and wide-ranging curriculum to help students grow into well-rounded citizens who are empowered to succeed now and in the next phase of their lives. Students learn to thrive in the classroom as well as outside of it. A prime example of a student embracing and thriving in the rigors of being a Country Day student is 8^th grader Max Sun.

The new school year is bookended by two all-school gatherings in the outdoor amphitheater and on August 25, Head of School Rob Zimmerman `98 welcomed students, staff, and teachers to the 98th academic year during the first of those two events - Opening Convocation. 

“What are you reading?” It was the first thing Merle Black, legendary Country Day teacher, would always ask me whenever I returned to campus after graduating.

As part of the one-to-one Spanish exchange program, the school welcomed 15 students from Malaga, Spain to the Country Day campus in September.

Our Pre-Primary program is having a moment. Just like the children enrolled in the program, we woke up one morning and realized the program had grown even bigger and better than the day before.

Nick Watts `23 is now an alumnus of Cincinnati Country Day. Read about his experience as a Nighthawk and what his future plans will be now that he is a Cincinnati Country Day graduate. 

We are excited to introduce Eric Moulin to Cincinnati Country Day School’s community as the new director of facilities.
