The Country Day School or CDS is an independent, non-profit university-preparatory school in King City, Ontario, Canada.[1]

It was founded in 1972.[2] It is a member of the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario (CIS), and the Canadian Educational Standards Institute (CESI). Its Head of School is John Liggett.

General

Serving male and female students from junior kindergarten to grade 12, it has set a maximum class size of 24 students, with an average of 17 students per class. Each student is subject to an entrance assessment: an informal process for young children or the more formal Canadian Achievement Test for older students.[3]

The school is divided into a Junior School (JK-6), Middle School (7–8), and Senior School (9–12). CDS competes in CIS Athletic Association (CISAA) sports each term, particularly soccer, rugby, track and field, hockey, basketball, softball, baseball, volleyball, and cross country.

Being a private, independent school CDS charges a yearly fee of $27,100 for students in grades 1 to 12, and $23,350 for kindergarten students.

Campus

The school is situated on over 100 acre lot and has three full-sized gymnasiums, an athletics track, two softball diamonds, five full-size fields, and three smaller fields. One full-size field is synthetic turf, and one of the small fields has synthetic turf and is covered with a dome for all-season access. The school also has a performing arts centre with a 350-seat theatre, practice rooms, and an atrium.
