About
At Rocky Hill Country Day, our vision is for students to be doing and becoming, emphasizing process over product. Our school motto “Know Thyself” remains a guiding principle in our approach to fulfilling our mission.
We also inspire each student to become a navigator, critical thinker, citizen, and communicator, who are innovative, self-aware, ethical, and globally-minded and drive these competencies into our curricular and co-curricular endeavors. Similarly, we weave social/emotional development and wellness into the everyday fabric of our community.
Our students find themselves not only well prepared for college academics and personal independence, but also for wherever their life’s journey takes them.
At Rocky Hill Country Day, our vision is for students to be doing and becoming, emphasizing process over product. In what we view as a post-content approach to education, we inspire each student to become navigators, critical thinkers, citizens, and communicators, who are innovative, self-aware, ethical, and globally-minded.
These competencies drive our curricular and co-curricular endeavors as traditional content provides the vehicle for students’ real-world experiences, meaningful coursework and research, discussion-based classrooms, and individualized and collaborative learning opportunities in all divisions. Believing fully in the mind-heart connection, we weave social/emotional development and wellness into the everyday fabric of our community. Our students find themselves not only well prepared for college academics and personal independence, but also for wherever their life’s journey takes them.
