Be our guest! 🌹 The Country Day School all-school production of “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” brought the magic to the stage with unforgettable performances and a tale as old as time.

Junior School fourth grade students transported us back to ancient Greece through gods and goddesses, warriors, and philosophers at this year’s Greek Museum. 🇬🇷

Tomorrow is only a day away! The Middle School delighted audiences with their heartwarming production of “Annie Jr.” Bravo to the talented cast and crew for bringing this beloved story to life on stage!

Junior School and Country Day School fourth and fifth grade students proudly shared their Passion Projects! ✨ From science and engineering to history and the arts, these student-led projects showcased creativity, curiosity, and thoughtful exploration inspired by each learner’s individual interests.

The Senior School is one week into Immersives! From campus to the city, students are exploring big ideas, engaging in hands-on learning, and discovering beyond the classroom with purpose and curiosity.

SSA seniors who got their start at the Junior School or Country Day School took a meaningful walk down memory lane, returning to their former elementary campuses. From playing with younger students to touring the halls and reconnecting with past teachers, it was a heartfelt return to where it all began. 💙💛

We are proud to welcome back nationally recognized organizational psychologist, UNC professor, and bestselling author Alison Fragale ’93 as our 2026 Commencement speaker.
