Who We Are
“You may know everything about your child, but we know everything about 2 to 18-year-olds. Let’s learn from each other.”
– Gardner Barrier, Head of School
Above all, we’re educational experts who know your child.
At Forsyth Country Day School, we believe that students learn best when they are happy, engaged, and have a sense of belonging. Our students are curious, motivated, and excited to learn. They create meaningful connections with teachers and fellow students, engage in intentional learning, and develop essential skills for the world ahead.
Academic excellence, caring educators, and authentic connections all play a role in preparing students for what’s ahead. Here’s how:
- Invested faculty – Our teachers, coaches, and counselors are all invested in making sure each child is valued, understood, and appropriately challenged. They encourage all students to be their authentic selves.
- Forward-thinking learning – Our vision, core values, curriculum, and programs develop students who are ready for the world ahead. Students gain cultural competencies, entrepreneurial skills, leadership skills, and an openness to explore the greater community and contribute to the world.
- Collaborative community – Our teachers, staff, and families all come together to support and connect with our students. We strive to cultivate a sense not only of inclusion but of belonging. We understand the importance of working together and building community. Our students are motivated to collaborate and make an impact.
