At Children’s Day School, chickens—and eggs—are some of our best teachers. With our main campus a home to a working farm and organic garden, we’ve made the environment a core component of a rigorous curriculum that is project-based, integrated across academic disciplines and designed to prepare and inspire. We expect great things of our students, because we know that passionate citizens change the world.
