KINGSBURY COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL

Kingsbury Country Day School is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Kingsbury Country Day School school district, located in Oxford, MI with about 257 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 18 teachers, Kingsbury Country Day School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Kingsbury Country Day School, located on a sprawling 125-acre campus in Oxford, Michigan, is an independent, non-profit school serving students from preschool through eighth grade. Founded in 1953, the school is deeply committed to a "whole child" philosophy that prioritizes intellectual rigor, emotional development, and character building. By maintaining small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, Kingsbury fosters a supportive environment where faculty can tailor instruction to meet the individual learning styles and needs of each student, encouraging both academic achievement and a lifelong love of learning.

Beyond the traditional classroom, Kingsbury is well-regarded for its emphasis on experiential education and environmental stewardship. The school’s expansive grounds—which include forests, wetlands, and meadows—serve as an "outdoor classroom," allowing students to engage in hands-on science and nature-based exploration. Through a curriculum that balances core academic subjects with robust offerings in the arts, athletics, and community service, Kingsbury Country Day School aims to produce confident, curious, and responsible citizens who are well-prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond.
