Testimonials

"It has been so special to bring my children to Country Day, traveling the same driveway I traveled as a child. More importantly, my children were always ready to hop out of the car every morning to truly enjoy another day of learning."

"Fox Chapel Country Day School is a magical place where learning life's lessons happens in an extraordinary way. For us, it is truly a "gift we give our children."

"Country Day was the Eden of my childhood and one of the key reasons for us to move back to Pittsburgh. My children are thriving in all aspects of school life and think it's great to attend the same school as their mom, and aunts and uncle. While many things have changed over the years, for me, one thing remains the same; Country Day is a safe, nurturing environment where the faculty, students and parents work together to build a loving and supportive community that creates memories for a lifetime."

"I wanted to give my children the gift of Country Day. When I recall my years at FCCDS, it felt as though I had a "hug" around me for my whole journey through elementary school. It is a place that gives you the chance to feel known, loved and cherished as a friend, student and individual. I have never seen another school quite like it."

"Country Day makes you an individual and team player. It also gives you confidence to continue onto Middle School with its challenging curriculum and hands-on learning programs. Most importantly are the friendships that will last forever. I love Fox Chapel Country Day School."
