Mapping Out the Industrial Boom
Mapping Out the Industrial Boom

Eighth grade history students recently took part in The Urban Game, mapping out the growth and transformation of NYC’s Five Points neighborhood during the industrial boom. Through 15 rounds of drawing and redrawing, they explored the effects of rapid urban development and how a city evolves over 50 years. This interactive lesson kicks off the unit on urbanization and city planning in the early 1900s.

Campus Pollinator Census
Campus Pollinator Census

From Lower School to Upper School, our students eagerly explored our campus gardens while participating in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census! Created by the University of Georgia, this two-day census encourages pollinator conservation and appreciation across the Southeast. Students observed insects and collected valuable data, which our TREE club leaders will submit to UGA and its partners. This meaningful campus service project was a fantastic way for our students to engage with our gardens and start the new year on a positive note.

    My career has turned out to be so fulfilling, and I look forward to each day! Moreover, my children are happy, safe, and well-rounded thanks to SCDS."
    Carrie Vetrovsky, SCDS Teacher & Parent

    We have been thrilled with how our daughter is thriving since transferring to SCDS for middle school. We are so appreciative of the faculty, staff and fellow parents who have eagerly guided us through this academic year. The school has exceeded our expectations."
    Amy and Chad Brock, current parents 

    In my business (as a NASA engineer), we have to launch a rocket within an extremely tight window that's just minutes long because small deviations at that early, fiery moment have an enormous impact on the ultimate destination of the spacecraft. I believe that my time at SCDS, though brief and more than twenty years ago, continues to have a similar impact on my life."

    Jeff Norris, SCDS class of 1994
