Academics at Carolina Day School
Carolina Day School is one school made up of four divisions: The
Lower School, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade; The Key School, for
bright students in grades one through eight with language-based
learning differences; The Middle School, sixth through eighth
grade; and The Upper School, ninth through twelfth grade.
We have nearly 700 students, 100 faculty members, and 3,500
alumni. We are a college preparatory school with a remarkable record
of student achievement. Our upper school students average 200 points higher
on SAT scores than state and national averages. Our graduates attend the
finest colleges and universities in the nation. The vast majority go to
their college of first choice.
Even more important, however, is preparing students for a lifetime of
responsible citizenship, integrity, ethical behavior, and service to
other members of the community at large. We are one extended family
engaged in one enterprise - the growth and development of every member
of the community.
