      Who Will You Be?
      The most effective preparation for a life of purpose is a solid sense of self. That’s why our guiding question for students is “Who Will You Be?” If they know who they are, their path in life will reveal itself so they can proceed with confidence and conviction. Contact us today to book a tour or conversation - we cannot wait to meet you!

      A Journey of Discovery
      Founded in 1972 by a group of dedicated parents who saw a need for a co-ed independent school in King Township, The Country Day School has experienced remarkable growth over the past 50 years. But our original commitment to providing an education with balance for JK-12 students on our beautiful 100-acre campus endures.

      Pursuit of Lifelong Learning
      Our youngest learners (JK-Grade 6) develop a sense of self in our supportive and engaging Junior School. Our Middle Schoolers (Grades 7-8) exert independence in new social and academic settings. Our Senior students (Grades 9-12) discover the right balance of freedom and guidance as they navigate their futures.

      Education with Balance
      We care about each student’s wellness and character as much as their intellectual development and post-secondary preparation. We are committed to offering top academics, athletics, arts, outdoor ed, leadership skills, and character building opportunities, each without compromise. We call this education with balance.

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
