Dear Parents,

Kentucky Country Day School is a special place for students and their families. We are driven by a unique mission, which is encapsulated in our school motto: Citizen, Scholar, Steward. As a community of learners dedicated to academic and personal excellence, we strive to create an environment marked by small classes, individual attention, mutual trust, and a genuine sense of belonging. It is our responsibility to empower our students to acquire not only knowledge and skills, but also the moral framework for a meaningful life as citizens of our democracy.

At KCD, a talented and caring faculty inspires students to realize their potential through a program characterized by rigorous academics and a wide array of extracurricular opportunities in athletics and the arts. KCD also emphasizes strong writing, speaking, and thinking skills while also focusing on those habits of mind often found in successful people: self-discipline, self-respect, a passion for excellence, and a willingness to embrace change. Moreover, we do this in a school community predicated on trust, honor, responsibility, and integrity.

Our 85-acre campus provides us with the perfect setting to bring our school mission to life. Our teachers care deeply about children and are inspired to grow professionally in their areas of expertise. Our parents volunteer their time and talent in countless ways in a true spirit of teamwork. Best of all, our students work and play with a sense of common purpose and a true love for their school.

Kentucky Country Day School is truly an exceptional start to an extraordinary life!

Bradley E. Lyman
Head of School
