We love this school and the community that comes with it. Our son is in his second year. We expect he will graduate from high school here. Outstanding!

My daughter transferred to Country Day in second grade and is beyond happy. The community welcomed us immediately and warmly. She is academically challenged, engaged with learning, and a joyful little human. I love how she is encouraged to pursue her passions and get involved. She is trying new things and honing her skills in ways we never could have imagined. I think my favorite thing is that she is supported by everyone on campus and known and nurtured by both her friends and the adults. I could not ask for anything more for my child's educational experience.

Actually, a grandparent. My granddaughter thrived at CCDS, and was admitted to an outstanding college where she was prepared to do rigorous college academic work. She thrived, too, in the extracurricular arts program.

Our daughter transferred from a parochial school to CCDS in 2nd grade and the teachers and faculty made the transition incredibly smooth. She is now in 3rd and we couldn't be happier with the CCDS experience. The teachers are amazing, and helpful and strive to challenge the students academically. The campus is beautiful and the community is very welcoming as well. Our daughter is a curious learner and we can see the results over the past few years. She comes home happy every day and seems to love her time at Cincinnati Country Day School.

The teachers know the kids so well. They are able to individualize instruction and include emotional and social growth in our childrens'' development plans. Classes are fun for the kids because the teachers use inventive means to teach what must be learned. Students have art, phys ed, swimming, science, library and language pull-out in the lower school. Middle school (grades 7 and 8) require participation in school sports each season as a phys ed requirement. It's a great way to get the kids to step outside their comfort zone and find a new interest.
