Picking a school was tough, but after a year at Kalamazoo Country Day (KCDS), it's the best choice ever! Our son thrives, not just in learning, but as a whole person. KCDS shines with small classes. Here, teachers know each student, making learning engaging and fun. He loves going to school, excited to share his day at pick-up. But KCDS is more than academics. It's a positive, inclusive environment that nurtures the whole child. They focus on leadership and each child's unique talents. Opportunities abound to develop these skills, and as parents, we feel like partners with the school in his success. KCDS isn't just school, it's a place to be yourself, make friends, and discover your inner leader. If you want a nurturing environment where your child can blossom, check out KCDS!

Review Kalamazoo Country Day School

Choosing KCDS was the best decision for my children. Beyond academic enhancement, it has nurtured their wellbeing and growing personalities. After trying various public schools, I was uneasy with the environments. Knowing the odds my children face, I couldn't settle for anything less than a supportive community. KCDS welcomed us with open arms, offering personalized academic support. My youngest went from struggling with reading in 2nd grade to leading a novel book club, and my son's proficiency in Spanish in 4th grade is remarkable.

KCDS's inclusive community celebrates diversity and instills values like leadership, respect, and integrity. My children thrive in an environment where they feel valued and respected, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance. The numerous activities and events, along with endless opportunities for growth, have exceeded my expectations. I am immensely proud and grateful for the positive impact KCDS has had on my children's lives.

The minute you walk onto the KCDS building, you can feel the difference. The staff are warm and welcoming and the children are loved and cared for. The teachers seem to embrace their school philosophy that every child has genius within them and work hard to help them flourish. I am so impressed with the stringent academic standards that are set for each grade level. The small class sizes and individualized learning plans (for EACH student) of the dedicated staff make achieving those goals possible. I highly recommend Kalamazoo Country Day School. You will not be disappointed.
