OUR PAST

The school started with humble beginnings, founded in a one-room cottage in La Jolla with four students and three faculty members in 1926. 

LEARN OUR HISTORY
I decided to live my life [by] not checking off boxes on college applications but to truly do what I am passionate about. And that, I think, is a value that Country Day definitely tries to instill in its students. We are not just trying to create cookie-cutter people; we are actually trying to create great minds.”
