Globally Minded Students Embrace Diversity
When we say we are culturally diverse, we mean it. Did you know that in our current 5th grade class seven students out of the 16 speak a second language fluently? These students represent 6 countries: Spain, France, Romania, Pakistan, India, Germany, and Japan. Likewise, 22% of our student body identifies as multi-cultural. Day School embraces diversity in languages, cultures, and heritage. This diversity enriches the classroom learning environment and teaches our students to be globally minded, one of the Portrait of a Graduate attributes we believe prepares Day School students to be the leaders of the future.

Day School Community Highlights
Yearbook Ads
The yearbook staff is already hard at work on the 2017-18 Landmark. Personal ads may be purchased for students in any grade. These send a special message to your students expressing how proud you are of their achievements, or they can be used as a sendoff to college, to high school, to middle school, or to the next grade in primary school. Business ads are also available and are a great way to acquaint Day School families with the products and services your business can provide. The deadline to order ads is Friday, October 13.
School class and individual pictures will be Tuesday, September 5 and Wednesday, September 6. On the day of your child's picture, students are allowed to wear dress code or nicer clothing. For a schedule of when your child's picture will be taken, click the link below.
Day School utilizes a free text messaging system to update families regarding important information such as school closures/delays and reminders of upcoming events. To sign up, text @163795 to (812) 618-1792. Instructions are also available
