Countryside Day School

Countryside has made a huge difference for our family.

Since our son started attending Countryside, our dinners together have been filled with stories and lessons learned at school. He shows greater interest in reading, writing and art at home, which he never viewed as positive activities before. Our son has also asked for more responsibility and to participate in more of the necessary work around the house - and is surprisingly happy when we give him that responsibility.

Additionally, other Countryside parents have been very warm and welcoming. There is a lot of parent involvement outside of school, including regular activities where we have a chance to have fun and build relationships with other families that have a strong presence in our son's life.

In addition to the great education and environment that Countryside provides, the staff regularly make themselves available after hours to help share feedback to ensure that students are in the best environment possible (at school and at home) to grow into respectful, responsible and resourceful adults.

As a parent of an 8 year old attending Countryside, I have been impressed with all aspects of this school. From the well run administration to the communicative teachers, the positive culture has made an impact on my son and I cannot wait to see him continue through the various levels of the school into 8th grade.

We love Countryside! The teachers here genuinely care about our children and love to teach. The blended age classrooms allow our children to receive lessons in each subject exactly where they are at. They can seamlessly move up a grade level in areas of strengths, and receive extra support in areas of weakness allowing them to thrive. Our children are visual learners, and there is so much hands-on learning to instill the subject matter. The teachers are willing to present the material in several different ways if needed to benefit all types of learners, they are not restricted to one way of teaching. I love the physical movement that is encouraged as they can easily move about the classroom and are not required to sit at a desk all day. The students are encouraged to help other students, be mentors to younger students, take care of the classroom, and gain confidence and independence with an increase in responsibilities. CDS helps the whole child, and has instilled a love of learning into our children. We are grateful for such a wonderful school to send our kids to!

As a Montessori teacher and school director in GA, I can tell you this is one of the very best Montessori schools in the country! The classrooms are designed to help children develop Independence, concentration, and self-discipline. The teachers and staff have an amazing amount of experience and provide a warm, nurturing environment that allows children to blossom and reach their full potential. The campus is beautifully designed, all with the best interests of the students in mind. I highly recommend this school to families in the area.
