Register For Peru 2020 Today!
Thank you for attending our Parent Information Evening on December 4th to learn more about the World Challenge trip to Southern Peru over March Break 2020! Even if you weren’t able to attend, you are still able to register your child for this exciting opportunity.
The World Challenge organization builds the life skills young people need to live a life of courage, kindness and adventure. For 30 years, they have proudly travelled to more than 40 destinations across the globe, now attracting more than 8,000 students to join them each year. As our World Challenge representative, Marcus O’Neill, reiterated at the information session, World Challenge leads the way in student expedition safety, quality, ethical community engagement and learning outcomes. This philosophy complements CDS’s Guiding Principles of raising social and global awareness and advocating fitness for life.
From tough treks to new cultures, the day-to-day challenges of expedition life encourages students to develop life skills and build deeper confidence, resilience and empathy. Guided by an adult leadership team, your student will step out of their comfort zones and take on roles and the leadership of their group, managing a budget, planning meals and choosing accommodation.
We will provide more information to follow in the coming months in preparation for this exciting life-altering experience! To learn more about this amazing organization, click here.
Thank you,
Andy MacMillan and Geneva Winterink

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.
