Campus Life
From student government to theatrical productions, musical groups to athletic teams, opportunities to join, volunteer, participate, and play are plentiful. At Country Day, students choose from a variety of clubs and extracurricular activities to explore and develop talents and interests outside academics.
Distinctive to our Pre-K through 12th grade student body is the friendly and collegial interaction between different grades for social and, in some cases, academic activities. Buddy systems between Lower School classes are in place for projects, Middle School helpers work with Lower School classes, and High School students escort young students to the gym for sports rallies.
PhUn Week (Physiology Understanding Week) is an annual collaboration between Sacramento Country Day, CSUS and APS (American Physiological Society) led by Country Day High School Science Teacher and Department Chair, Dr. Kellie Whited, and Sac State physiology professor (and former SCDS faculty), Dr. Robin Altman. These inspirational teachers bring physiology lessons to the lower school classes through activities and experiments that are really colorful and kinetic. They also bring dissection and animal specimens for the kiddos to explore. Our high school research interns also pitch in and help on many lessons.
Student Leadership
We believe in helping students find their unique voices. One way that we encourage them to speak and listen to others is through leadership opportunities.
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.”
