CCDS Annual Fund

Your choice to support CCDS today has a compounded impact as students demonstrate success and become leaders in their community. Thank you for choosing to support our students and their futures!

Support a Student Today. Change Them for a Lifetime.

Rev. Charles and Dr. Betty Kennedy founded Community Country Day School when Mother Kennedy realized that the students who needed the most support and love were getting pushed aside – literally and figuratively excluded from the classrooms that they needed to be in. The Kennedys believed then – and we still believe today – that by introducing the right supports and a “Lead With Love” approach to education, all students can thrive. We also believe students who don’t require additional academic or emotional supports can also benefit from the education CCDS offers. Students who are doing well emotionally and academically provide a positive peer influence to those who are struggling and all students learn empathy, compassion and a trauma-informed mindset. Every student is taught to Lead With Love – to lead themselves, their peers, their families and their communities.

Donations to the CCDS Annual Fund help directly support students by enhancing curriculum, providing scholarships and financial aid and enhancing CCDS operations. Your choice to support CCDS today has a compounded impact as students demonstrate success and become leaders in their community.
