    Our son is at Country Day and my husband and I could not be happier. We looked at several other schools and selecting one was a very difficult decision. We live uptown and were worried about the commute each day--but it has not been an issue at all. We are so glad we chose Country Day! The teachers are amazing, the facilities are spectacular, and our son is so happy to go to school every day. You can't go wrong with Country Day.

    A fantastic New Orleans school experience that prepares students for college, grad school and the world. I can't imagine a better place in New Orleans to learn, develop and grow. The teachers and staff are first rate and exemplify what a community can be when everyone works together with shared values. I'm well into my 30s now and still deeply connected to the friendships formed here. There's something for everyone here despite the smaller school feel. You can take many challenging courses and electives, the most expansive arts curriculum in the region and beautiful, constantly improving facilities. The cherry on top is the school lunch experience - you have to experience it to believe it. It's a true community experience. I miss those red beans!
    Fantastic campus, Diverse student body. MPCDS is what you want in a school, excellent academics, all inclusive sports, comfortable setting, great atmosphere, and an encouragement to participate.
