"What I loved most about Country Day was the support that we always got from the faculty… The confidence and ease to initiate contact with some of the most influential professors in the fields was something that Country Day taught me very early on and something that I have used extensively in my time here at Stanford."

"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."

"This school taught me how to think for myself while at the same time considering--and being respectful of--the thoughts of others. SCDS challenged me to think globally, to discern the devil in the details, and to unabashedly ask questions about the things that I didn’t understand. The myriad of clubs one could join, the access to the arts of many disciplines, the many sports teams – all created an environment that allowed the students intellectual independence, creativity, innovation, a strong sense of self, as well as collegiality."
