Admissions Process

Individual tours of the school for parents-only are scheduled, by appointment, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, October through early January, and by special request outside of these dates.

If interested in scheduling a tour, please submit an online inquiry form, and a staff member will be in touch. Should you have additional questions you can reach our Director of Admissions, Lynn Hall, at 703-356-9165 or by email at lhall@countryday.org .

Applications for the 2023-24 school year are available on the CDS website. To apply, please create an applicant login account and submit a completed application along with a non-refundable application fee. Applications must be submitted online. Applications are due by January 15th for the upcoming school year.

The school asks for teacher recommendation forms for all children who are applying to the Threes, Fours and Kindergarten program who currently attend a school or child care program. These forms are to be sent directly from the teacher or director to Country Day School and are due January 31 for the upcoming school year. Teacher recommendation forms can be found under Admissions Forms.
