Our Web site provides detailed information about our academic program, athletic opportunities, art programs and all of the other unique aspects of a Country Day education. Founded in 1929, Country Day has claimed among its graduates (and its more active parents) many of the more innovative leaders in the Greater New Orleans community and the vast world beyond. At Country Day, students enjoy the incalculable advantage of being taught how to learn, not merely how to test. They are challenged to achieve, not merely to pass; they are inspired to exceed expectations, not merely to settle for the acceptable. Parents confirm that they enjoy the comfort of knowing they have chosen well.

Please explore our Web site and do not hesitate to call us with any question you may have. You may apply online (please click here for the Country Day Application) or you may download an application from our Web site in this Admission section under Important Forms in the sidebar to the right on this page. Hard copy applications should be mailed to Metairie Park Country Day School 300 Park Road Metairie, LA 70005 and mark the envelope “Attention: Admission Office.”
