"Not only is it fun to get involved, but it benefits the students and supports the School."
The Country Day School has an active network of people in our community with a diverse set of talents to share, and this sharing of time and energy contributes to the education and personal development of our students in both tangible and intangible ways.
We would be happy to direct you to the appropriate area within the School that would benefit from your skill set. Whether you have a few hours to spare or more - we would love to hear from you.
Please peruse the volunteer options listed below. If you are interested in learning more about any of these opportunities, please contact the Office of Community Relations at 905.833.3640 or email us at volunteer@cds.on.ca.
Volunteers in the General Store fulfill an integral role in positive community relations, assisting parents and students with sales, stocking inventory, updating displays, and more!
These outstanding volunteers fulfill a wide variety of functions unique to each grade. Their time is spent in part by organizing class parties, decorating for special themes and events, as well as assisting in communicating information to class parents.
The Auction is the School's largest fundraiser, featuring live and silent auctions, a live band, dancing and a variety of fun-filled activities, all focused on a central theme. Volunteers are essential to the Auction's success and fun is had by all! Paint, decorate, design displays, help us with invitations, aquisitions and more!

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.
Founded in 1972, The Country Day School is a co-educational private school offering programs in JK-12 and located on 100 acres north of Toronto in King.
