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.

Jessica Dessner '91 Provides Support to Ukrainian Refugees

Apr 14 2022

One of the pillars of a Country Day education is honing one’s ability to be a good steward, acting in service to others through our five character virtues. We see this displayed – in big and small ways – every day on our campus. We also see it showcased through the thoughtful acts of our alumni, as is the case with Jessica Dessner ’91.

Jessica and her spouse Ole Sondresen live in the Piedmont region of Italy and are hosting Ukrainian refugees and raising funds for immediate and continued relief efforts. Jessica has aggregated efforts with other residents in Alba and together they have produced extraordinary outcomes. To date, over 100 Ukrainian families have been provided with support, housing, and everyday necessities because of their efforts.

And while Jessica and Ole have lived in Alba for less than a decade, her ancestral roots go back much further. Her grandmother escaped from Odessa, Ukraine over 100 years ago during the Russian Civil War.

“There is absolutely an emotional connection to what is happening now and what happened back then,” said Steve Dessner, Jessica’s father. “What Jessica, Ole, and their community is doing to support these Ukrainian families is remarkable…although I’m not surprised – Jessica is a force of nature and always has her heart in the right place.”
