      I love Country Day for the teachers and resources we have! However, I would say that it is not hard to find someone acting spoiled and snobby within the student body. This is a given considering most students at the school are wealthy and have been lavished with excellent education since birth. It is annoying at times, though, to see students not appreciate the resources and teachers we have. Miami Country Day does a more than great job at preparing for college and for growing our intellectual minds in and outside the classroom!

      I have been in attendance at MCDS for the majority of my life, and I can honestly say that it is a community like no other. The dedication and support that students receive from the staff are unmatched. While the school is, of course, not perfect, they do make strong efforts to improve upon all areas of weakness. I could not give the school enough praise, and I highly recommend attending!
      Miami Country Day School is an AWSOME school. As it is pricey, the money is worth it. Their arts program is the best in Miami. There are Drama, Art, Music and many more of those classes. College prep at that school is very good. For sports you have so much to choose. Swimming , Tennis, and even golf. Unlike other schools, they have great food. When I went for Spartans Day, which was a day for the students that got accepted to spend a day in the school, there was such great food. On that day, they had shrimp and rice, Sandwiches (all different kinds) and much more! Love this school.
