Miami Country Day School is one of the few places I will always be appreciative of due to the opportunities it has provided me with and bonds that I will cherish forever. Moving from another country and starting from what seemed like rock bottom made me nervous, but the school's diversity and inclusivity made me feel at home. Still being in touch with those who I met over 12 years ago when I started to making new bonds with those who joined senior year is truly special. The teachers want to see you succeed and reach the goals you set for yourself, making sure all resources are used. From providing the students with challenges to implementing what we learn into our everyday lives, Miami Country Day School ensures a community is maintained and its students thrive.

While the school itself is very good(many of the teachers are really here because they love their jobs and they want to help their students succeed) the students of the school can sometimes make the school unbearable, especially if you are a student of color or a student not well off financially. As you get older, the student gets better, but if you want to enroll your middle school student and they are a student of color or a student who is not well off financially, this school might not be the right fit. If you want to enroll your student in high school, this school is great. The teachers are very helpful and hold weekly "extra help" sessions for the students. The faculty is constantly available for students who might be having any issues.

As a parent of four children, three graduates and a senior, I have been at MCDS for a total of 17 years. The experience has been exceptional for my whole family. My children have all gone or committed to the schools of their choice. In addition, they have made life long friendships. In the 17 years at MCDS I have been a very involved participant and it’s been an amazing experience for our family. My children participated in sports and were very active in the arts and drama programs. We have loved our experience at MCDS.
