Cincinnati Country Day School (abbreviated Country Day, CD or CCDS) is a private, coeducational, independent school located in Indian Hill, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati.[2] Country Day delivers a balanced, whole-child experience that fosters students’ personal and academic growth – because who they become is as important as the knowledge they gain. From 18 months to 18 years of age, the school is uniquely designed to help cultivate a passion for learning and independent thinking that prepares children to become exemplary citizens, confident leaders, and the best versions of themselves.
