Dedham Country Day School
Ready for Learning, Ready for Life.
“I’ve got this.” Every child feels that. Here.
DCD children are ready to face whatever comes their way, at school and in life. With appropriate challenge, they build confidence. In our supportive community, they cultivate acceptance. Through a rich, thoughtfully balanced curriculum, they find the drive to learn and the chance to grow. For more than a century, DCD, a private day school in Dedham, Massachusetts, has been a launchpad for children pre-K to grade 8 — a place to dive in and stretch out. So when it’s time for them to take that leap, they know they can.
