Maumee Valley Country Day School

Prospective Families and Campus Visitors

Maumee Valley students and faculty will continue to engage in remote learning through the end of the school year. We will update the community immediately as we learn when we will be able to reopen the campus.

During this time, the Admission Office will continue to work with students and families in a remote setting. While visiting campus is always the best way to experience Maumee Valley, we are working diligently to connect with students and parents who are interested in a highly personalized way. Reach out today! We look forward to speaking with you.

Welcome from the Admission Office

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. As you navigate all of your choices, we are here to personally guide you through learning about all that makes Maumee Valley Country Day School special. Maumee Valley has earned an international reputation for being a progressive, challenging, and supportive school.

From our Early Learning Center to our Upper School, Maumee Valley faculty guide our students as they pursue a personal, experiential, and global education, allowing them to discover their individual strengths and passions. You will find elements of this vision in every area of our school. In our Forest School Inspired Early Learning Center, faculty meet students where they are in their development in our classrooms and across our beautiful 75-acre wooded campus. A hallmark of our Lower School is the multi-age open classrooms. Middle School students dive deeply into content in X-Block. And the Upper School experience is designed around three three-week Intensives per year.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about us. Then call, email, or complete the online inquiry form in order to schedule a campus tour and appointment with your admission representative. We are here for you throughout your journey from inquiry to enrollment.
