|  | Welcome to Savannah Country Day, a school rooted in the beauty,
history, and heritage of Savannah, but one also committed to preparing
its students to live lives of significance and service in the world of
the 21st Century. Thanks to the education our students receive, they
graduate not only with a strong sense of place and family and
extraordinarily well-prepared for college, but poised for vigorous
participation in the global world in which they will be expected to
work well with people of different nationalities, races, and religions.
During your virtual visit to Savannah Country Day, I hope you will take
an opportunity to view our mission statement. Whether it is in our
Little School which serves the needs of students from six weeks of age
through three years, whether it is in one of our Upper School English
classes or on our playing fields, our stage, or our laboratories,
Country Day’s mission to “prepare students of academic and personal
promise to meet with confidence, imagination, and integrity the
challenges of college and life” inspires and informs all that we do.
Visitors to our school often ask me, “what is it that makes Country Day
unique?” My answer is simple: Country Day is a school which sets very
high expectations for its students—ethically, academically,
artistically, and athletically—but one in which teachers work with
amazing diligence and care to help all students meet those
expectations. It is a school whose wide offerings in academics,
athletics, the arts, and extracurricular activities give students
incredible opportunities to discover their unique gifts and talents and
to develop the confidence that grows from knowing that they have
something of value to contribute to others. And for parents who want
their children challenged with high expectations in a warm, supportive
environment, Savannah Country Day is the best investment in a child’s
future.
I hope you will enjoy your visit today to Savannah Country Day and that you will come back often.
With best wishes,
Marcia Hull
