COUNTRY DAY

SCHOOL

Our Pre-K through 12th grade co-ed students enjoy small class sizes and a dynamic learning environment on our expansive campus. Recognized as Niche's #1 K-12 private school in Sacramento and the #1 private high school, our commitment to excellence in education, and an inclusive and supportive community, ensure our students achieve their individual potential.

OVERHEARD

“Too many people are afraid to make a mistake. Accepting failure helps students develop a growth mindset, which will serve them well for the rest of their lives.”

Dr. Kellie Whited, Science Department Chair and Biology Teacher

“What I hope I see is a student body that feels they are empowered to name any issue that they see– it's their campus. We want every student and faculty member to see this as their home.”

Rachelle Doyle, Director of Advancement

 

“Being able to be yourself in a safe space is nice; everyone knows you and there is less judgment. There is no culture of having to be perfect at everything, this is a community here to support you.”

Juliette ‘24

 

“The learning environment at Country Day High School is tailored…you can really adjust it and build your own academic experience. Teachers find what works for a student and support them with the best tools for them.”

Luke '24

 

“The garden belongs to everybody. Everybody does the work. Everybody does the chores. And everybody shares the bounty. So there's a lot of taking care of each other that way.”

Rory Tira, Garden Supervisor

 

"The learning system at Country Day revolves around one's passion. Every schedule is customized to pursue your dreams, and the flexible environment enables me to excel in my passions inside and beyond the classroom."

Brenden '28

HAPPENING IN THE HALLS

In the Spotlight—Octagon Writers Honored

Outdoor Writers Association of California recently honored winners of its 2025 Pat Vachini Writing & Photography Contest. Eesha D. ‘26 and Kate B. ‘27 from our Sacramento Country Day High School won first place in the articles division for their story, “Wildfires devastate Los Angeles, Country Day connections affected.”

In the Spotlight—Annual 6th Grade Greek Olympics

Just before Spring Break the annual 6th Grade Greek Olympics took place in a series of exciting events to mark the culmination of their study of ancient Greece. Middle School Dean of Students, Math and History Teacher, Ed Bolman, started this tradition his first year here, 20 years ago with a fellow teacher, Joel Rickert. 

Making a Difference in Washington DC

As part of the Teens Speak Up! & Public Policy Institute (TSU), one of the Epilepsy Foundation of America's signature advocacy initiatives, Ana B. ‘27 attended the biennial conference in Washington DC.

Brains in the Fourth Grade Classroom

Our fourth grade students recently took part in the "Brains to Classrooms" program through UC Davis where real animal brains come to elementary school classrooms for lessons in comparative anatomy and the functions of the brain. This lesson exposes students to different types of brains and how they work.

Musical Excellence

Brenden Y. '28 had been selected to sing with the California Choral Directors Association's All-State Honor Choirs. These choirs are made up of the best young vocalists in California. This year's honor choir performance was in Sacramento during the 2025 California All-State Music Educators Convention.
