Clubs & Service
How do students enrich their school experience and explore leadership opportunities? Clubs!
Every student in our Middle and Upper School has the opportunity to start, join, or lead a club.
Leadership
At Forsyth Country Day School, the development of leadership involves instilling in each student a lifelong commitment to use their time, talents, compassion, and resources to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
Each division offers unique opportunities to build leadership skills. These skills are introduced and fostered as students serve on councils, head clubs, captain teams, perform individual and group tasks in the classroom, and engage in service activities that address the needs of the greater community.
Clubs & Service Activities
Each division offers opportunities for students to explore their interests outside the classroom. These experiences promote personal development and help students discover unique abilities within themselves and others.

Upper School Clubs
Here in the Upper School, we want every student to have a sense of belonging not only in the classroom but in our student life as well. We have service clubs for each student to get involved in such as All for Running, Debate Club, H.O.P.E. Club, International Culture Club, Model UN-International Relations Club, Newspaper Club, and STEAM Club. These clubs all have specific service and meeting requirements and are a great way to connect and build community.
Our Upper School is excited to see the passions and interests of our students take shape. If you are looking to get involved in a service club or have an interest in an interest group or competition group, just fill out an application with Ms. Clay. -
