Middle school students studying outside.

Welcome to Cincinnati Country Day School, an independent, co-educational, college preparatory school serving students from 18 months to 18 years. Founded in 1926, our mission is simple – to create leaders who, through the discovery of their own abilities, kindle the potential of others and better a dynamic world. Our independent status gives us the freedom to develop our own curriculum, allowing for rich variety and creativity in teaching and learning, that nurtures intellectual curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and stimulates personal growth. Our innovative learning and teaching, environmental commitment, and global engagement programs create a community where student’s abilities, interests, and needs are shaped for college and beyond.
