Social Emotional Learning

Social and emotional learning (SEL) enhances students’ capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges.  Throughout Country Day’s 14 grades, we are committed to helping children develop core SEL competencies.

Service Learning and Community Service

A commitment to instill in our children the values of integrity, empathy and respect for others, and to share responsibility for a better world is at the foundation of Country Day’s “Habit of Helping.”

Student Trips

Please note that school operations may be temporarily different due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Experiential education is  one of the many hallmarks of Country Day’s engaging, student-centered curriculum. Annual off-campus trips support the school’s curriculum and reinforce the sense of community.
