Mission Statement

St. Croix Country Day School is an independent, multicultural, college preparatory educational community set on a 34-acre tropical campus. The school is a spirited collaboration among dedicated educators, involved parents, concerned community leaders and inquisitive young people. It is dedicated to providing students with an enriched and challenging education, encouraging them to love learning, grow as individuals and be prepared for a productive and responsible future.

Fourth graders visit the Taino burial ground above Salt River and learn a Native American dance that celebrates reverence for Mother Earth.

School Philosophy

St. Croix Country Day School is committed to providing quality instruction that recognizes the individual strengths and needs of each child to develop motivated, disciplined and inquiring students. To obtain this objective, we offer a balanced program of academics, physical education, expressive arts, technology and extracurricular and community service opportunities. Learning is lead by a stable and experienced faculty that will utilize updated teaching aids, technology and continuing education in a variety of instructional approaches that represent their desire for life long learning.

The school seeks to attract families who will benefit from the opportunity to appreciate and respect individual differences in the multicultural community which we share. We encourage active parent involvement to support and enrich school programs.

Although academics are a focus of our program, we also strive to develop each student's social, emotional and physical well-being. We believe that self-esteem and self-confidence are enhanced when standards are high but obtainable, and when students are called upon to take pride in their work and strive for excellence. Communication and a shared responsibility among parents, students and teachers form the foundation for each child's optimum growth and ability to successfully function in the world upon graduation from St. Croix Country Day School.

The school is committed to an ongoing process of strategic planning and carefully orchestrated intellectual, social and physical change so that it may remain current, vibrant and responsive to the needs of the community it serves.
