A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
The experience of Country Day's Upper School is best described by a Country Day alum:
"When I reminisce about my experiences at Country Day, I realize two of Country Day's greatest strengths are the availability of the faculty and staff, and the variety of opportunities for involvement. Very few schools offer such a friendly, outgoing group of faculty, administrators, and coaches who guide and help you along the way. Also unique to Country Day are the opportunities through clubs, athletics, and arts that all encourage involvement and make it easy to join."
