College Counseling
Through a highly individualized program that involves both students and their families, Country Day Upper School students find the college or university that best matches their goals and interests—a place where they will thrive, excel, and contribute.
Our three full-time college counselors are committed to helping every student find a college or university that best matches their aspirations—a place where they will flourish.
Country Day graduates often comment that they are far better prepared for the rigors of college than their peers. When the time comes to graduate, our seniors possess the skills they need to succeed in college and ultimately, in life.

I truly believe one of the best opportunities provided to me during my attendance at Country Day was the incredible faculty I had access to. Not only did I foster long-lasting and meaningful relationships with them, but I was provided with exceptional instruction that rivals my college instruction quality. I think taking multiple years of English and History while at Country Day is crucial to the development of a well-rounded student, and the strong emphasis on writing has allowed me to excel in college."
