Academics

Since our founding in 1926, Country Day has been at the forefront of providing a rigorous academic curriculum that is more progressive than traditional. Through our academics, we emphasize a culture of teaching and learning that promotes a healthy sense of self and a focused attention on intellectual inspiration. The Country Day community is eager to welcome you to our learning environment where we believe all students have an opportunity to engage their interests, develop their social-emotional skills, and prepare to be leaders who kindle the potential of others in a dynamic world.
