Cincinnati Country Day School (abbreviated "CCDS") is a private school located in Indian Hill, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Inspired by the Country Day School movement, which began in Baltimore twenty years prior, the school was founded in 1926 and now enrolls approximately 800 students from preschool through high school. Starting in the fall of 1996, students 5th grade and above were equipped with laptop computers as part of the "Anytime Anywhere Learning" program. The school is an international leader in technology integration. In 6th grade, the students receive their own web-page on the school server. The school newspaper, which is also online, is called The Scroll (www.scrollonline.net), and is part of the National Scholastic Press Association . Each year, 100% of graduating seniors attend four-year colleges, and in 2009-2010, 24% of the senior class was National Merit recognized. The school sits on a 62-acre campus in Indian Hill, Ohio.
