About Us
We are a coeducational, college preparatory, private school in Indian Hill, Ohio serving students from 18 months to 18 years. Since 1926, we have been focused on providing innovative preparation to our students, so they are ready to achieve success in college and life.
Academics
We are here to support every child’s learning path in every way possible and provide an exemplary experience that will serve all of our students well now and in the future.
Admission
Our admission office staff is committed to helping families understand the unique benefits of a Country Day education. Our goal is to make Country Day affordable to those students who are admitted through the admission process.
School Life
Fostering a community in which every student feels a sense of belonging and well-being through equitable and inclusive curricular and co-curricular practices further magnifies our guiding principle—to ensure a school environment where every student, 18 months to 18 years, is known and nurtured.
The Country Day Difference
Country Day is like no other. Students are known and nurtured. They pursue their unique gifts and seek answers. They discover talents, serve others, and live with integrity.
Arts
At Cincinnati Country Day, we cultivate artists and advocates of all ages and at all skill and interest levels. Our team of professionals is dedicated to instilling an understanding and appreciation for the arts in the classroom, in nature, on the stage, or in gallery spaces.
Athletics
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive experience through physical activity and interscholastic play that promotes the development of the heart, the mind, and the body for all our student-athletes. Our athletic program provides each student-athlete with an opportunity to grow as a person, a teammate, and an athlete.
Giving
Country Day’s strength is rooted in its history of philanthropy. From its founding in 1926, with gifts of land to establish the campus, gifts of cash to develop the early buildings, and countless volunteer hours, Country Day has been built by the generosity of its community.

In This Section

The incredible experience we offer at Country Day would not be possible without the countless individuals who make this such a special place to learn, work, and connect. Each year, we honor alumni, faculty, and staff with awards in recognition of their service to the school community as well as the community at large.

First granted in 1989, the Lee S. Pattison Distinguished Teacher Award, named after Lee S. Pattison, who graced our campus from 1946 to 1988, seeks to celebrate teachers who best embody all that Lee Pattison gave, day in and day out: loyalty, creativity, humor, flexibility, and integrity.

The Staff Recognition Award honors full- or part-time staff members for outstanding workplace achievements that contribute to the school’s excellence.

Patterson-Strauss Travel Grant

The Patterson-Strauss Travel Fund honors long-time faculty members Bob Patterson and Tony Strauss. They each had many interests and passions, but prominent among these passions was their love of teaching, teachers, and of course, students. The goal of the Patterson-Strauss Grant is to fund a summer sabbatical program for senior faculty.

Country Day alumni are some of the most accomplished citizens in the world. Each year, we recognize a small group for their accomplishments at Country Day and in the greater community. Our alumni awards consist of the Distinguished Alumni Award, Virtue in Action Award, Arts Hall of Fame and Athletic Hall of Fame.
