Rocky Hill Country Day School – Think Outside
RHCD Crest

Welcome to Rocky Hill

We are a private N – 12 school located in East Greenwich Rhode Island along the beautiful shores of Narragansett Bay.  Our mission – inspiring each other to discover our full selves and use our wisdom for good – drives all that we do. We truly believe that our innovative, high engagement learning experience, set in our beautiful country setting, creates an environment that encourages students to think expansively, try new things, and achieve wider possibilities.

Our campus creates a relaxed and freeing environment for students from 34 RI communities. Students can physically, intellectually and emotionally spread out.  With one foot firmly rooted in our heritage and the other in our future, we are excited to see what comes next on our journey.  Join us!

“The heart of what we offer students is the opportunity to imagine, explore, discover. At Rocky Hill Country Day School, we aspire for them to embrace their curiosity, to celebrate the possibility of the unknown, and to boldly follow new adventures.” 

– Diane Rich
  Head of School

ATHLETICS
Our athletic program functions as an integral part of the total curriculum. We strive for the development of well-rounded individuals, capable of taking their place in a competitive society. We believe that sports offer an environment for children to grow, not just athletically, but also socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our athletic programs operate within the framework of The Mariner Way – a philosophy centered on resiliency, effort, and pride.

ARTS
We believe that an understanding of our world and acceptance of different cultures is essential to a productive and balanced life, so at Rocky Hill Country Day the arts are an integral part of the curriculum. Problem solving and creative learning encourages students to connect visual knowledge to other subjects and respond with originality, understanding, flexibility, and imagination.

Learning Spaces

Our expansive campus, with Narragansett Bay waterfront and 10 buildings,
allows our students to stretch both their minds and their bodies.

The sea air invigorates students and adults alike who dig in, literally and figuratively, to fresh ideas, the soil, or the coastline.

.

At the heart of a RHCD education is communication and the open exploration of ideas and beliefs. Naturally then, our gathering spaces enable face to face dialogue and interpersonal connection.

Student Competencies

RHCD students are building competencies in thinking critically, navigating the world ethically, and communicating
intentionally in order to discover their full selves and use their wisdom for good.
