Leader in Me

Miami Country Day Lower and Middle School is a Leader in Me School. The Leader in Me is an innovative, school-wide model that increases teacher effectiveness, student engagement, and academic achievement, while preparing students to be leaders in the 21st century. The book The Leader in Me was written by Dr. Steven Covey who also authored The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Children at Miami Country Day ask questions such as, “How do I lead myself?” and “How do I lead others?”

In our effort to promote the whole child through our core values of honor, respect, wisdom, and compassion, we look for our students to be caring and compassionate human beings who respect diversity and who know how to do the right thing when faced with difficult decisions. Students engage in various leadership roles, service opportunities, and take pride in themselves knowing they are all true leaders.
