Tucson Country Day School

Tucson Country Day School is “Creating the Future” by providing our preschool through 8th grade students with an environment emphasizing the application of learned skills in the form of community enhancing projects. Our beautiful, outdoor, ten-acre campus overlooks the stunning Catalina mountain range and serves as a laboratory for students to create, discover, nurture, reflect, and have fun at school! We believe that all students are special and destined to succeed and our aim is to provide the right conditions for this belief to become reality. Tired of your child sitting at a desk all day completing one-size-fits-all worksheets? Then it’s time to check us out.
