About
Founded in 1938, Miami Country Day School was a residential boarding school for boys Kindergarten through eighth grade. Country Day has evolved remarkably over the past 80 years pioneering the education of the whole child. We are now a coeducational, nonprofit, interdenominational learning community with approximately 1350 students in Pre-Kindergarten 3 through Grade 12 representing over 40 countries. The school’s first graduating senior class was in 1981.
We nurture and guide every student, every day to find their true talents and passions. The moment you step foot on our 21 acre campus, you see and feel our mission in action. Students are exposed to culture and expression through the arts, leadership and teamwork through athletics, compassion and humility through service, and intellectual thought and curiosity through our outcomes based and student centered curriculum.
This experience culminates and is evident in a portrait of a Miami Country Day School graduate.
The school is accredited by FCIS and SACS; active membership is maintained in NACAC, SACAC, ACCIS, NAIS, SAIS, CASE, CRIS, ERB, American Library Association and the College Board.
