Around here, we believe in joy, community, and showing up for one another. And sometimes, showing up looks like handing your Head of School a microphone. 🎤✨

Mrs. Birch is taking the stage for the A Special Wish Lip Sync Challenge on October 24th at the Capitol Theatre, all to help grant wishes for local children and families.

Come cheer her on and bring some WCDS energy!

🎟️ Tickets are $34 | Glow wands $5

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mr. Joe!

As our Learning on Location coordinator and a key supporter of Deep Dive projects, Mr. Joe helps our students take their learning beyond the classroom and into the real world. From hands-on adventures to curiosity-driven projects, he brings learning to life in ways our students won’t soon forget.

We’re so grateful for the energy, creativity, and enthusiasm he brings to WCDS every day!

We are honored to be among the recipients and thankful for their investment in our students and the opportunities that make a WCDS education so unique.

Early Childhood Orientation Night was a beautiful evening of connection, curiosity, and new beginnings.

Parents had the chance to spend time in their child’s classroom, get to know their teachers, and experience the kind of Reggio Emilia-inspired activities their children will encounter throughout the year.

It was a little glimpse into the magic of Early Childhood at Country Day, and we can’t wait to welcome our youngest learners! ✨
