Meet the Community

Our experienced and highly trained faculty members challenge and support each student in all areas of academics, as well as in their social, emotional, and physical growth. Faculty members provide a safe and nurturing environment, working with parents to optimize the education of every student. Caring collaborative relationships connect students, teachers, and parents - one of the many advantages of a Detroit Country Day School education.

Many members of our faculty regularly present at national conferences and contribute articles to national publications. Yearly, our faculty receive awards and recognition in their respective disciplines. Approximately 68% of our faculty hold advanced degrees.

The Portrait of the Detroit Country Day School Student is a reflections of the attributes we strive to develop in each of our students starting from the time they start in the Lower School to the day they graduate from the Upper School. 

For over 100 years, the Detroit Country Day School has transformed students into leaders of character who go on to admirable and honorable accomplishments. Our alumni, more than 7,000 strong, live across the country and around the world and are leaders in the fields of industry, medicine, government, and non-profits for humanitarian causes. They carry the lessons they learn at Detroit Country Day School into adulthood and often look back on their years here as among the most rewarding of their lives.

Our alumni stay connected and get involved through our Alumni Association and various student events. As graduates, our alumni are not only a proud example of our successful legacy, but also a role model for future generations of graduates.
