Skip To Main Content

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.

The CCDS Makerspace invites students to design, tinker, create, innovate, experiment, learn, and play.

Students, faculty, and staff can use the makerspace with a class or for their own project ideas. Anyone who comes into the makerspace receives basic safety training and a quick overview of the available equipment and tools. More specific training is given to those who want to create with the Cricut smart cutting machine, 3D printers, foam board cutter, sewing machines, Dremel Laser Cutter, Bantam PCB Milling Machine, and other specialized equipment.

“Making” projects can be low tech, high tech, and everywhere in between. Students and faculty have designed board games, prototypes for assistive technologies, coding projects, jewelry, t-shirt iron-ons, engineering prototypes, hands-on visuals for classes, 3D printed math art, and more. The sky is the limit!

The makerspace is funded partially by a generous gift from an alumnus through the Innovation and Design Fund. To learn more, click here.
