The Country Day School - Portrait of a CDS Grad - A Co-ED, JK-12, Independent Day School in the Greater Toronto Area

"CDS opened so many doors for me and allowed me to become the person I always wanted to be. It has been the perfect match for me."
"CDS offered me the ability to dedicate myself to all of my interests, in addition to academics, and allowed me to travel the world through the Debate Club."
"The community at CDS is really tight knit and close. The relationship between teachers and students really adds to the strength of this community."
"The teachers have instilled such good values in me. I’ve developed great relationships with so many of them over the years and will always have these memories."
"The teachers really encourage you to become involved in extra-curriculars because you develop your knowledge inside the classroom, but your character outside of it."
"The thing I’m going to miss most about CDS are all the opportunities it gave me. I loved being part of sports and Student Council my final year … it provided such a sense of balance in my life."

Throughout their CDS journey, we encourage our students to ask themselves the question Who Will You Be?

• Lives life with balance and pursues their passion
• Is independent, confident and resilient, and perseveres in the face of setbacks
• Acts with integrity and honours their commitments

• Can be self-directed and collaborate effectively with others as needed
• Is adaptable and ready for the challenges of an ever-changing world

Leading

• Actively participates in and enriches their community
