“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
"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."

HAPPENING IN THE HALLS
Recently, The Octagon was recognized in the 2024 California Journalism Awards, the annual statewide contest recognizing excellence in journalism.
As the 2024–25 school year wraps up, we’re proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement by one of our 2025 graduates! Saheb Gulati’s work recently earned national attention in The Washington Post. He was recently featured in an article for his role in a national investigation into Instagram’s treatment of teen accounts.
Dr. Pepa Novell was invited to UC Santa Cruz last weekend to give a talk on Spanish Cultural Studies. Her paper studied how Spanish artist Fernando Sánchez Castillo (Madrid, 1970) transforms Francoism icons into sculptures and installations to invite a new reflection on our recent past.
In June, we will say goodbye to two dedicated and impactful faculty members in our Middle School.
We’re proud to share this wonderful feature on Sacramento Country Day from Inside Sacramento, highlighting our school’s legacy, mission, and the meaningful experiences that shape our students from Pre-K through 12th grade.
