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. Miami Country Day School is a college preparatory learning community committed to educating the whole child. Through the core values of honor, respect, wisdom and compassion, we prepare students to be lifelong learners. We inspire our children to develop their intellectual, physical, aesthetic, social, emotional and spiritual potentials by valuing every student every day.
Miami Country Day School's success is based on a philosophy of dedication to academic excellence. From their first day in Pre-Kindergarten, students are encouraged and expected to question, examine, think, and reflect. Students are challenged as individuals to broaden themselves intellectually. A fulfilling, dynamic, and classical academic program produces students who are learned, secure, motivated, responsible, and successful.
Small class sizes allow students and teachers to interact individually. Passionate teachers have the time for creative and powerful lessons that students will remember for a lifetime. The coordination of technology use within the school supports the evolution of instructional strategies which foster interactive, collaborative, and innovative teaching and learning. Miami Country Day is committed to the school's mission to foster lifelong learners who are successful and responsible citizens in a global society.
The Learning Resources Program of Miami Country Day School is for students in grades six through twelve who have average to superior intelligence with a documented learning difference. The Learning Resources Program develops those personal and intellectual strengths that enable students to succeed in its college preparatory curriculum. Self-advocacy training is an integral part of our curriculum. Our program is designed to prepare our graduates for a college or university education suitable to their needs and demonstrated abilities. Students take core classes with Learning Resources teachers. Students may move between Learning Resources and main track courses according to their educational needs.
Miami Country Day is dedicated to increasing the diversity of our school community to accurately reflect the world in which we live. We widely define diversity to include age, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, language, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and socio-economic status. This commitment allows us to create an environment that is welcoming and respectful for our students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds.
We view the goal of maintaining diversity and inclusion as directly related to creating the highest quality programs for an independent school. Our programs are dedicated to the enrichment of our students and that enrichment is amplified when those with varying experiences and points of view share their knowledge and interpretations with one another.
Diversity increases the breadth and depth of a person's education and is crucial to a full understanding of our society. A commitment to diversity and inclusion is recognition of the past and a promise to the future – something owed to students of all backgrounds.
