Community

We believe we are stronger with an involved community – people who take an active part in the school as parents, students, alumni, teachers, grandparents, volunteers, and friends. Country Day is not a drop-off and pick-up community.

Our buildings were designed with common spaces for community engagement. We invite parents and others to join us for coffee in the morning and a Lower School sing-a-long, stay for lunch with your kids, attend a Parents’ Association meeting, listen to a lecture as part of our speaker series, take a jog around our track or cross country course, use the cardio balcony in our athletic complex, take care of business through the wireless network offered in our common spaces and lounges, or simply enjoy a good book in one of our many shaded tree groves.

During the afternoons and evenings, you will find families on campus enjoying a sporting event, art exhibit in the Messer Art Gallery, play or musical performance in Keeler Theater, walk on a nature trail, or one of the multiple playgrounds and new playscape. We work hard to make sure our community members are known, and to that end, we work closely with the Indian Hill Rangers, divisional receptionist, and grounds and facility personnel to provide a safe, suburban campus.

Community is where you gather as family, whether on or off campus. Some of many community events include Homecoming and FallFest, back-to-school nights, cookouts, athletic games, plays and musicals, CountryDate, winter and spring arts shows and performances, CCDSpeaks (speakers series), new family ice cream social, neighborhood gatherings, new parent social, grade-level parties, service opportunities, Multicultural Night, senior Clap-out, and much more.
