Sacramento Country Day is a very special place.
As a school we combine the qualities of community – knowing,
loving, and appreciating each and every student for his or her
unique gifts - while also providing the finest educational
experience in the Sacramento region.
Country Day students achieve the highest test scores, receive
numerous awards, and 100% of our graduates matriculate to
top colleges and
universities across the state and nation. However, it is not
just these accomplishments that define what it means to be a
Country Day student; being a student at Country Day means being
part of a diverse, inclusive and supportive community.
Whether in our Lower School,
Middle School and High School, one of the hallmarks of the Country Day advantage is
that our students know they can count on a community where all
members feel appreciated, respected, and safe. And, because our
students learn how to contribute meaningfully to the lives of
others, the impacts of a Country Day education extend far beyond
the school’s doors.
As a young man I was fascinated with Saint Francis of Assisi, the
patron saint of Italy. One quotation attributed to him
reads, “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s
possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
That’s what we do every day. Our spectacular faculty and
staff nurture, believe in, and challenge your children to reach
beyond what they know they can do to achieve what they don’t yet
know they can do – “the impossible.”
And that is the essence of Sacramento Country Day.
Kind regards,
Lee Thomsen
Head of School
