Kalamazoo Country Day School

Kalamazoo Country Day School has a small class size so the student to teacher ratio is low. The school stuff and teachers really show cares to all students and willing work with each family to meet their needs. Highly recommended.

I am a parent of a former student. My daughter transitioned to a public high school after graduating from KCDS. My daughter was able to connect to every teacher and especially enjoyed math and science. She had no challenge catching on the curriculum at the public school at all. At KCDS she learned how she studies best and gather information beyond the notes of the day. The excellent and well-rounded education at KCDS will pave her way to any college she sets her sights on.

My daughter is new to KCDS, and in the six weeks she's been there, she's flourishing and doing better than ever before. The teachers and staff took her under their wings and have nurtured and loved her from day one. Her anxiety is gone, she loves school, and the school identified that she was behind in math and have helped her catch up. I no longer have anxiety when leaving my daughter at school. This is a loving and caring environment that any child would be so fortunate to attend. Everyone working there has a heart of gold. Children learning at KCDS have a bright future.

Kalamazoo Country Day is a great fit for our family. We have been very pleased and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a quality education for their children

Choosing KCDS was the best decision for my children. Beyond academic enhancement, it has nurtured their wellbeing, growing minds, and personalities. After navigating through various public schools, I found myself uneasy with the environment. Knowing the odds my children face, I couldn't afford to settle for anything less than a supportive community. KCDS welcomed us with open arms, offering personalized academic support tailored to each child's needs. Witnessing my youngest's transition from struggling with reading in 2nd grade to leading a novel book club alongside advanced peers speaks volumes about the school's dedication. Similarly, my son's proficiency in Spanish at just the 4th grade level is a testament to the exceptional education provided here.What truly sets KCDS apart is its inclusive community, where diversity is celebrated, and values like leadership, respect, and integrity are instilled in every student. Unlike their previous experiences, my children now thrive in an environment where they feel valued and respected. The camaraderie among students of different ages fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance, making them feel special and included.From the plethora of activities and events to the countless opportunities for personal and academic growth, KCDS has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I am immensely proud and grateful for the positive impact it has had on my children's lives.

Every teacher I have met here wants nothing but the best for our son. Kalamazoo Country Day School is excellent, the staff are so caring, and we are blessed to have found our place here.

Kalamazoo Country Day School has been an incredible experience for my two daughters! My oldest spent two years in the preschool program and is currently excelling as a kindergartener. She was provided with the academic and social emotional skills at a young age to thrive. The experience of having Spanish, music, art and physical education as a preschooler is something I couldn't find anywhere else. My youngest is currently enrolled in the preschool program and is ecstatic to come to school every day! She has already learned and grown so much. The school embodies the full child approach and excels when teaching those vital building blocks each day. We love KCDS and would highly recommend this fantastic school to anyone interested in setting their child(ren) up for future academic success!

Kalamazoo Country Day School has provided my girls with amazing, personalized education. My oldest is now in public high school and while she is shy by nature, her teachers often comment on her confidence and poise in an academic environment. She has a passion for learning and approaches her advanced classes with interest - I attribute much of this to KCDS; the teachers, the curriculum, and the community. She attended PK - 8. My other daughter also started in PK and is now in Elementary - she is connected to her school, her teachers, and her peers - it is a true community. KCDS empowers her to be her best and understand her learning style so she too, will be successful in her lifelong pursuit of knowledge. I'm also impressed with the Spanish program and am excited when she shares what she is learning. We are so appreciative - thank you KCDS!

I love that each child is known. Not just what they look like, but what they like, how they learn, and what inspires them. Such great facilities and amazing staff have made this a remarkable experience for my family. Would highly recommend!
