Middle School
A Middle School Experience Unlike Any Other

Middle School at Community Day
Community Day School’s Middle School is intentionally small and safe, creating a place where students are known, supported, and inspired to take on new challenges with confidence. Here, inquiry-based learning comes alive through service projects, Learning Expeditions, internships, and a personalized, accelerated curriculum. This rich combination empowers our graduates to thrive in some of the nation’s most prestigious and competitive high school programs, prepared not just with knowledge, but with the skills to lead and make a difference.
Our Middle School is designed to be both comfortable and challenging—a flexible, developmentally appropriate environment where collaboration and innovation flourish. Students are surrounded by a close-knit community of friends and peers, while also learning how to build meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
True to our pluralistic philosophy, we welcome students of all faiths and traditions. At Community Day, middle school is more than preparation for what comes next—it is a joyful, values-rooted journey that equips students to grow as thinkers, leaders, and compassionate members of their community.
