why rhcd
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.
RHCD students are building competencies in thinking critically, navigating the world ethically, and communicating intentionally in order to discover their full selves and use their wisdom for good.
Our students find themselves not only well prepared for college academics and personal independence, but also for wherever their life’s journey takes them.
