Our distinctive approach is defined by:
Committed, passionate teachers who know each student fully, are their advocates and guides and push them to grow in ways previously unimaginable.
Small class sizes that allow teachers to tailor instruction to the students in their presence.

- The use of technology to support instructional strategies, which foster interactive, collaborative and innovative teaching and learning.
- Trans-disciplinary skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, communicating and questioning which are a core part of every academic endeavor.
- A focus on the real-life application of what is studied in the classroom, which motivates students to delve deeper into topics.
- The importance of finding passion and purpose beyond oneself, a belief that is a hallmark of the Country Day experience.
