Headmaster's Welcome
In 1926, forty-five boys dressed in orange and black sweaters arrived for their first day at The Greenwich Country Day School.
Today, GCDS is the largest independent elementary and middle school in the country and a leader in the field of education. A transition of that magnitude does not happen without bold vision, hard work, and tremendous generosity.
We have inherited excellence, and I believe it is our responsibility to leave GCDS even stronger for the next generation. Read more >
