PA Impact

Our Funds have a Meaningful Impact

The Country Day Parents Association (CDPA) has a long history of service and supporting our school. Funds raised by the CDPA are dedicated restricted dollars that support the academic and student programming needs of our students and faculty. While these dollars are not budget relieving, they aim to significantly enhance our school community. The CDPA works with the administration to identify areas of opportunity for our support and, in alternating years, we meet with division heads to identify specific faculty wish list items so that we can impact classrooms at the micro level.

Nearly $1,000,000 in Support...and Counting!
