I went to Country Day as a child. The lower school classes are combined. 3rd and 4th together in one classroom. K-2nd in another. The teachers are spread so thin the children don't get what they need. My parents were told I needed a math tutor and English tutor. I did very badly because I never had help from my teachers. Some teachers ignored me and were blatantly mean. I transferred and excelled in classes, I became an honors student. If your child has a learning disability, don't sent them here.

My daughter attended first grade here and my son was in pre-k. It was a perfect fit for our family. The staff and faculty were warm and welcoming and the parents were very involved in making the school great.

The programs and the curriculum are good, though individual attention seems to be given to those students whose parents donate the most - very apparent when looking at the casting of school plays. My kid had a rough time during a family crisis and instead of help and support all we got was probation...
