…and Supporting Parents
Partnering with parents, we provide support, resources and counseling to guide students in attaining the knowledge and skills to respect themselves and others. Parents find community in our school with our Country Day Networking Hours. Your child is in good hands with our faculty and staff members, 58 of whom have served over 10 years at MCDS.
