Overview

Founded in 1926, Cincinnati Country Day School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory school emphasizing academic excellence and character development. Through educational programming, extracurricular opportunities, social and environmental awareness, and integrated technology, our goal has remained the same for over eight decades – to produce moral and ethical students who are prepared for success in college and life.

  • students are academic with 17 honors and 11 AP courses from which to choose a curriculum rich in content and rigorous by design.
  • students are athletic as 85% of US students participate in 24 varsity sports.
  • students are artistic with the majority of students taking part in artistic pursuits beyond their curricular requirements.
  • students are altruistic as 100% of CCDS students participate in service projects.
  • students are active leaders in more than 60 clubs school-wide.
