Our Campus Master Plan

In 2023, the Miami Country Day School Board of Trustees approved a comprehensive Campus Master Plan designed to enhance the student experience, support innovative teaching and learning, strengthen wellness and athletics, and prepare the campus for future growth. Developed in partnership with WRT Design and informed by extensive input from faculty, staff, students, parents, and community members, the plan creates a connected, future-ready campus while honoring the natural environment and character of our neighborhood.

New Upper School and Dining Commons
