Children’s Day School is proving that happy children make better learners. We have constructed a respectful, caring, diverse school culture where our 350 students, in preschool through eighth grade, tackle a challenging academic curriculum—and love it! Those who meet and know our students consistently see uniquely enthusiastic and competent learners who are cooperative, collaborative, responsible and self-confident.

To many parents, the task of finding the right school for their child can be daunting. At CDS, we want our admission process to be clear and we want our communications with prospective families to be welcoming, helpful and responsive. We seek students and families who are a great fit with the CDS educational philosophy and its involved, inclusive community.

We hope that the admission information provided on these pages is helpful. Please feel free to contact me at (415) 861-5432 x 322 if I can provide any additional information. Also, visit the website developed by the Directors of Admission at Independent Schools of the Bay Area for more information about admission to Bay Area Independent Schools. I look forward to meeting you.
