“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
As of today, about 80% of Sacramento Country Day School seniors have been accepted to college!
Jane McGinnes brings incredible energy to Country Day and as our Middle & High School Drama Teacher, her work embodies our mission to live creatively.
Our Middle and High School Librarian, Jo Melinson, recently co-authored an article that was published in the political librarian. This paper investigates how limiting access to subscription online content through legislation encourages pre-restriction by vendors and school librarians as a response to these complaints.
Our 7th grade life science students have been raising Chinook Salmon from eggs this year, watching the eggs hatch and grow into little fry.
Our December PA Meeting hosted Garden Supervisor, Rory Tira, in a fantastic and inspiring presentation about how our garden works for EVERY student on our campus. The talk was inspired by a conversation with PA leadership about our lunch program, which spurred a bigger conversation about how students eat at school, and specifically how they learn to eat.
