Where to Begin

The admissions process at Jacksonville Country Day School is designed to match students with the mission of the school. The process includes a tour for parents, a school day visit for students in grades 1-6, and a student evaluation or testing. Our hope is that the process will help families, students, and the school make choices about the best placement to ensure success when students are enrolled in the school.

Call Pat Walker, Admissions Director or Judy Witte, Admissions Coordinator at (904) 641-6644 ext. 151 to schedule a school tour.
