Unique Programs
 Abess Center for Environmental Studies (ACES)
ACES is an enrichment program unique to Miami Country Day School. Under the direction of Rowena Gerber, students PK3 through 5th grade explore Earth's biodiversity and environmental issues through exciting "hands-on" activities.
Using a multiple intelligence approach, students actively participate in projects as scientists, researchers, journalists, nutritionists, mathematicians, authors, illustrators, poets, gardeners, teachers, script writers, cooks, and young, socially conscious entrepreneurs. The students are actively involved in local and international projects as they develop skills that will be used throughout their lives. (More)
 Comprehensive Outdoor Education Program (COEP)
COEP takes learning beyond the classroom and into the wilderness. As a curricular program, COEP introduces students to the wild flora and fauna of Florida as well as to its history. Students participate in lessons that teach them valuable leadership and teamwork skills in addition to the knowledge they gain through the classroom content.
As a club, COEP provides students an opportunity to explore much of the state of Florida during weekend treks, and even the rest of the United States during summer treks. Through these practical experiences, trekkers apply knowledge and skills gleaned from the classroom, develop relationships with peers and adult trekkers alike, and have an opportunity to appreciate the natural history and wildlife of Florida and beyond.

Theater for Social Change
Growing from the belief that the arts offer a unique way to introduce students to aspects of the human condition, Theater for Social Change, an artistic and curricular program, was founded at Miami Country Day School in 2005. It was founded on the premise that theater is particularly well designed to stimulate discussions about important societal issues and foster change at the local, national and global levels.
The Theater for Social Change program is inextricably linked to Miami Country Day School’s belief in the importance of educating the whole child. The School’s mission is focused on the development of the six potentials of each student, and this program addresses the School’s need to give form and life to the three most elusive of the six potentials: the social, the emotional, and the spiritual. The progression from artistic work to social reflection to humanitarian action is tied directly to the significant role that service learning plays in the mission statement and program of the Upper School.
