WELCOME!
Our mission at Monroe Country Day School is to inspire every student to have a passion for academic and personal excellence through creative learning, independent thinking and selfless service to others. This mission is supported by the implementation of the Country Day educational model, which focuses on a holistic approach to student learning. Cultivating the heart, character and mind of each student is the essence of who we are at MCDS. We seek to maintain a nutrient rich environment where students can grow in their understanding of subject matter, as well as their understanding of who they are as individuals. Our environment promotes an awareness of what each student needs in order to thrive and offer his or her best. The decisions made here at MCDS are made with this in mind.
It is a pleasure to serve students and families at Monroe Country Day School. I look forward to walking alongside you as your journey here begins.

GEORGIA STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP ORGANIZATION
Would you like to redirect your Ga state taxes to a school of your choice?
Donating to GASSO allows your tax dollars to be redirected to a private school like Monroe Country Day School. These donations fund the scholarships that we are able to offer our students. Your donations make a difference!
The redirection of your tax dollars is made possible by the Georgia Education Expense Tax Credit. Participation in this program will qualify you for a dollar-for-dollar education tax credit on your Georgia income tax return. This means that for every dollar you donate to MCDS, you will receive that same dollar amount off of your Ga income taxes. We partner with GASSO to facilitate your tax exempt donation.
