Inquiry Form

Talk with Director of Enrollment Management Sarah DeWitt, who will get to know your family, discuss our curriculum, explain a “day in the life of a CDS student," and answer your questions.

Please schedule a personal phone call here or an individual Zoom meeting with Sarah here if you prefer a face-to-face conversation.

Visiting Community Day School is the best way to discover the dynamic community and academic vitality that make CDS a special place.

After your exploratory call with Sarah DeWitt, we invite you to explore our beautiful campus and meet with our faculty, students, administrators, and families.

If an in-person visit is not possible, please ask about virtual tour options.

Applications for the 2024-2025 academic year are now being accepted. The deadline is January 15, 2024.

If you are a new family applying to CDS for the first time, you will need to create a user login (username and password) to ensure your information is secure. If you are a current CDS family applying for a new student to the school, please log in to your MyComday account and begin the process.

Community Day School values being an inclusive and diverse community of families. More than half of current CDS families are able to access an exceptional CDS education through our tuition assistance program. Once we receive your application, we will also share information about how to apply for tuition assistance using FACTS, a secure, third-party grant and aid service provider.

Applicants are invited to visit CDS to help our faculty get to know your child.

Prospective kindergarten students participate in a school visit in January in our classrooms, which enables our teachers to observe how each child interacts in a group setting and provides insights about a young child's readiness to attend CDS.

Applicants in Grades 1-7 spend a full day at the school with their grade level participating in regularly scheduled activities. 

CDS sends acceptance notifications and information about tuition assistance in mid-February.

Enrollment contracts and deposits are due in early March, and we then look forward to welcoming your family back to campus for events and activities throughout the spring as you immediately become part of the CDS community.
