DIRECTQR QF LGWER SCHOQL Joyful spirit characterizes the Lower School. The SAC re- port spoke of Country Day as a happy place for children. Our holistic approach seeks the fulfillment of all six human potentials - intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, emo- tional, and aesthetic. Data-based more and more accu- rately describes our school. Experiential learning, process approach, critical thinking and interdisciplinary study are only a few of the ideas based in research that are becom- ing and integral part of our program for life long learning. The exciting news from the United States Department of Education that we have been selected one of eight private schools in Florida to be considered for the next step, a site visit, in the selection process for the prestigious school recognition program was an added honor this year.

The middle years are a transitional time attended by much change and growth. ln our middle school, we have worked hard to meet the needs of our students - and what a great group of young people they are. Enthusiastic, talent- ed, motivated, energetic, are all words that describe our middle school students. Their enthusiasm is reflected in everything from their play during break time to their participation in sports. The Toy Drive, Tin Can Tuesday, and performances outside the school show their enthusiasm for helping others. The Student Council has set a strong example for the rest of the school. Their enthusiastic leadership has been conta- gious. The depth and variety of talent in our students is notewor- thy. They have distinguished themselves through aca- demic excellence. Middle School students have been rec- ognized for their achievements in athletics, the perform- ing arts, creative writing, public speaking and other areas as well. Finally, if good students make good schools, certainly teachers must share in the credit for the formation of good students. Our Middle School teachers at Miami Country Day are a very caring, concerned faculty who un- derstands and enjoys working with young people during this special time in their lives. It is this combination of wonderful students and teachers that make our middle school the nurturing place that it is.
