Inaugural Breakout Week
Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come ALIVE and go do it!
Last week’s inaugural Breakout Week in the Middle and Senior Schools was a resounding, innovative success. Thirteen different activities were enjoyed by the students ranging from entire grades connecting and building relationships outdoors in different summer settings, to paddling canoes in our wonderful Canadian wilderness, to making sandwiches for the homeless and entertaining seniors, to calculating their terminal velocity before taking flight, to building a log shelter leanto in our very own CDS wilderness. Not to mention our GYs who headed east and west to explore future university options.
Students and faculty returned glowing with enthusiasm about the new relationships they had built, the challenges they had conquered, the knowledge and inspiration they had garnered and the fun they had along the journey. This was experiential learning at its very best, and it was clear that each and everyone of us had come a little more ALIVE.
Do take a peek at our photo gallery to see for yourself, and read the individual snapshots of the Quebec Culinary Tour and the CDS Cares Team. Stay tuned for more to come!

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.
