Premier School

My son is so happy being at this school because he's learning alot of stuff he's been getting good grades so thank you for teaching my son

My son has attended the preschool and summer camp at The Country Day School for a year now. I love bringing family with us when dropping him off or picking him up because they can see for themselves what a special place it is. There is an abundance of space both indoors and out for children to explore and play which can be difficult to find in many daycares and preschool environments. In every nook and cranny there are interesting materials for the children to utilize. There are two goats the children get to help feed at times, gardens they help plant, grow, harvest and market to the parents, and a forest and creek to explore. If you are a believer of allowing children to learn and grow not only through direct teaching but also through exploration and play with experienced and caring teachers as their guides, then this is the place for you. My child has truly thrived at The Country Day School.

I was a previous student at this school and faces many issues with not only the students, but also the teachers. When i came to the counselors and teachers about being socially outcasted from the large majority of the students, they told me that i should ignore it. There was only one teacher in the school that i liked, and the majority of the others often had the same problem of being too overly strict. Some kids would miss out on certain aspects of the class because they would’ve rather gone the whole period without going back to their home room to get an item they forgot due to there being punishments for forgetting to grab things, and these punishments would stack into worse reprimands. The students are absolutely horrible as well. The teachers are well aware that some of the kids they teach are feigning a nice smile, but don’t do anything about it. The majority of the parents and kids are snobby and rude. I also rate them low for kids that are different because of the fact that almost everybody at the school will look at you different just because you behave in a certain way or look a certain way. The kids there are unkind to those with disabilities and you WILL be outcasted for being different from the cliche popular girls/guys. Sometimes teachers won’t be the best at adjusting for your kid as well. The teachers will treat your middle school kids as though theyve already arrive at high school and will begin “preparing” them for that and even more with unnecessarily harsh reprimands. Some teachers are also incapable of keeping the classroom unpolitical. I had to sit through almost 20 minutes of a teacher’s political opinions in one class that not a single student even asked to hear!!! The only students that would thrive in this school are the ones you see in Mean Girls, and i’d say that some kids at this school would even be comparable to some characters from there. Not all kids and teachers are horrible though, i know if your kid goes to this school, they’ll at least find support through the groups of students who are out casted and the teachers who do actually take issue with this. The only reason i held out for the entire school year was my two only friends and my amazing science teacher. There’s always light in the dark, and i think that this school should definitely rethink some of their choices, but this doesn’t mean that the issues are completely gone. Please choose carefully, this can be a good school for the able, but not for the different.

This school allowed 2 teachers (who wasn’t my son teacher) to take my son away from his class and put him in a room alone to question him about outside situations that’s he’s not aware of also exposing pictures to my son and the school did nothing to the teachers but my son has to get transferred. School sucks. Lawsuit coming as well

This school is NOT christian, but rather hides behind the term Christian. They have no idea of how to form positive connections and seems to think that they are God's Gift to parents and that parents should be thankful they decided to "accept" their child. Terrible institution with terrible leadership. It's all about the money for sure and a waste of hard earned money at that. Trust me, there are better options. Keep researching. You will find better. I foresee they start to take advantage of the choose act. Why? Enrollment numbers WILL and already have been dwindling. Don't believe it? Just enroll...
