Admission
Welcome to CDS!
Parents consider private school for their children for a wide range of reasons. According to a recent survey conducted by CAIS (Canadian Accredited Independent Schools), some of these reasons include a desire to develop strong character, morals and values; to prepare for post-secondary education; to offer a well-rounded education; and to develop a lifelong love of learning.
At the Country Day School, we are confident that we achieve all of the above in our program offerings for students in JK through Grade 12. We refer to this as education with balance.
CDS differentiates instruction and seeks to meet the individual needs of each student. This approach is in everything we do. We cultivate the passion a child brings with them, or help them to discover one here.
As you explore the plethora of choices available, keep in mind that choosing a school is a very personal decision that ultimately comes down to which school feels right for your child.
We encourage you to explore our website and then plan a visit to discover what CDS can offer your family. Feel free to call or email anytime during your search, we would be happy to help answer your questions.
We look forward to meeting you!

Why is community our first priority as a school? Because as educators, we know that exceptional learning only happens within the context of supportive relationships. We also know that a strong sense of belonging paves the way for individual exploration and accomplishment. Students who feel at home will take risks, reach higher and know themselves better.
The most effective preparation for a life of purpose and distinction 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 and they will proceed with the confidence and clarity that ensure success.
To support their journey, we offer a balanced academic, experiential and extracurricular program. We attend to wellness and character as much as intellectual development and university preparation. We take pride in knowing, inspiring and supporting our students. And we participate actively in their discovery of who they are and where they are headed in life.

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.
