Sacramento Country Day School

[EduCativ]

Sacramento Country Day is an independent, coeducational school providing a dynamic, holistic, and academically challenging environment for students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade. We inspire intellectual discovery and engage a diverse community to think critically, live creatively, and act compassionately every day. We encourage our students to develop the full range of their capabilities – intellectual, physical, creative, social, and moral – and cultivate the habits and skills that will enable them to lead fulfilling lives.

Sacramento Country Day is an extraordinary place. As a school, we combine the qualities of community – knowing, loving, and appreciating every student for their unique gifts - while also providing an adequate educational experience in the Sacramento region.

Country Day students achieve the highest test scores, receive numerous awards, and 100% of our graduates matriculate to top colleges and universities across the state and nation. However, it is not just these accomplishments that define what it means to be a Country Day student being a student at Country Day means being part of a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community.

Whether in our Lower School, Middle School, and High School, one of the hallmarks of the Country Day advantage is that our students know they can count on a community where all members feel appreciated, respected, and safe. And, because our students learn how to contribute meaningfully to the lives of others, the impacts of a Country Day education extend far beyond the school’s doors.

That is what we do every day. Our spectacular faculty and staff nurture, believe in, and challenge your children to reach beyond what they know they can do to achieve what they do not yet know they can do – “the impossible.” Country Day inspires intellectual discovery and engages a diverse community to think critically, live creatively, and act compassionately. Country Day’s Core Values:

• We challenge students to pursue academic and personal excellence as they develop and embrace their passion for learning. Our students thrive in a dynamic college preparatory program that fuels curiosity instills confidence, and builds resilience.
• Our inclusive community promotes equity and understanding through meaningful conversation that welcomes various voices and celebrates individuality.
• Our students grapple with complex issues, engage with conflicting points of view, make connections, and collaborate. We empower students with the skills to thrive in an evolving world.
• Our students explore, improvise, and take risks as they discover and fully express themselves as individuals.
• We nurture empathy, integrity, and responsibility in a safe and supportive community that values kindness, respect, and civic engagement.

Sacramento Country Day School admits students without regard to race, color, gender orientation, religion, or national or ethnic origin. It does not discriminate in administering its educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs, athletics programs, employment practices, or other school-administered programs.

At Country Day, we appreciate each child’s unique character. Our innovative and experienced faculty are eager to learn what makes each student “tick” and get to know them well, and our low student-to-teacher ratio allows them to do just that.

Whether your child is interested in robotics or basketball, loves to get lost in a good book or bask in the spotlight on stage, Country Day provides every student with the tools, experiences, and mentorship they need to dig deep, reach far, and realize their unique potential. As the only PK-12th grade independent school in Sacramento and the surrounding area, attending Country Day has many advantages.

A continuity of curriculum and related programs spans the 14-grade levels. With a robust project-based curriculum, hands-on projects guide students in thinking critically, problem-solve, and working collaboratively with their peers, all skills that will serve them admirably in college beyond. Guided by outstanding faculty who love to teach and mentor, there are no limits to what each child can experience at Country Day.

Our alumni tell us that Country Day was a life-changing experience for them. The intellectual, ethical, and leadership qualities that we instill in our students and our emphasis on global education prepare them well for the 21st-century world awaiting graduation. We provide ample opportunities for our students to experience personal growth, exploration, and reflection, and our engaging, inspiring teachers readily encourage, challenge, and nurture each student to reach his or her full potential.
