Whether you come often to this Web site or are encountering us for the first time, we welcome you. As you peruse our site, I hope you will catch a glimpse not only of the school of excellence and character you would expect, but also of the special kind of energetic, joyful learning in community that gives Country Day its distinct advantage in challenging and engaging students.

Ours is a culture rich in tradition, offering expanded educational opportunities for young people for more than seventy-seven years. Be sure to check the “Photo Gallery” under the “News” section to catch a glimpse of the many special events here on campus that enhance learning and celebrate academic achievement, student performance, and athletic triumphs. For an even better look at the various ways Country Day delivers on its promise to focus on the individual, read the stories in “Courtyard Commentary.” Many of those stories reflect the special relationships between young people and the teachers, advisors and/or staff members that come to know them very well. At Country Day, we understand that children learn best in an environment that is both academically demanding and appropriately supportive, so we have carefully created a rigorous academic program in the context of a committed and caring community.

If you have caught a glimpse of the special character of Metairie Park Country Day School from viewing our Web site, imagine how much you will see when you come to campus. We welcome your interest in our school as we strive to prepare graduates who greet the world with greater knowledge, curiosity, excitement, humor and energy because of their time here with us.

Cordially,

Carolyn Chandler
Head of School
