Our History
As the first accredited elementary school in the Jacksonville area, Jacksonville Country Day School has continually set the standard for excellence in education. The school, which began as a family endeavor in 1960, was established by parents who believed that quality education is best achieved in an independent, non-denominational environment. Guiding Children to Excellence became the founding principle of the school.
JCDS is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Florida Council of Independent Schools and the Florida Kindergarten Council.
