Curriculum
Our rigorous academic curriculum inspires and challenges each student in a joyful learning environment. As an independent school we have the resources, training, and freedom to teach what is important for the personal and educational growth of students.
Country Day was founded in 1926 on traditional educational values with a progressive approach to student learning. With the guidance of a dedicated and experienced faculty as well as the exposure to cutting-edge technology, our students become master learners, independent thinkers, and even inventors – several students have received patents for their works that began here in one of our engineering classes.
Our classes, from 18 months to 18 years, provide intimate learning environments, in which each student’s abilities, interests, and needs, can be served through individualized learning paths. Our faculty deliver a curriculum that allows for a rich variety of creativity in teaching and learning as well as one that nurtures students’ intellectual curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and stimulates personal growth. We masterfully create an environment that allows students to grow and develop academically as well as personally – because what they learn is as important as who they become.
Makerspaces, campus gardens, outdoor classrooms, exchange programs in Spain and France, experiential learning week, job shadowing and internships, class trips to places like Washington D.C. and Cherokee, NC, fields trips, guest speakers, and community partnerships are just a few examples of opportunities that abound.
