The Arts

Over the past decade, the arts at Country Day have flourished under the guidance of our visionary arts faculty. Today, the fine and performing arts programs at Country Day are truly second to none.  Country Day students are exposed to the arts from pre-kindergarten through the Grade 12. At the junior school level, grades three through five, students have the option of becoming involved with the strings program, and in the third-grade students can pick-up a violin. 

The arts at Country Day allow students' imaginations to soar, and help their talents to bloom. Children as young as three  years  old explore a comprehensive range of fine and performing art experiences as an integral part of developing the whole child.

In music, our performing groups are annually recognized as among the finest programs in the state. The department of theatre and dance offers experiences and facilities that are more commonly found at the college level. The visual arts program produces outstanding young artists, some of whom have exhibited on the national level.

The school is also fortunate to have a unique parent volunteer organization devoted to forwarding the art programs. The Friends of the Arts Association works passionately to forward the arts at the school, and highlight student achievements in their annual "Celebrate the Arts" weekend, the largest student event of the school year.
