Why Give

We give because this school has given so much to our son. He has blossomed as a student and a person as a result of the teaching (academic and "life") he receives at RCDS. He has had the best experience we believe possible as a result of being part of the school's community, and we are thrilled to be able to support RCDS.

- Parent, Class of 2023

RCDS is providing our grandson with much more than an academic education. He is being challenged academically and physically, encouraged creatively, and nurtured socially and psychologically. The school's environment seeks to feed the student's entire educational experience.

I love working at Rye Country Day because of the incredible students and colleagues I get to be with every day. They inspire me, and I give to RCDS because I want to give back to a community that has given me so much joy and fulfillment.

- Faculty/Staff Member

I was fortunate enough to receive aid during my time at RCDS. I want other students to be able to attend and have the wonderful high school experience that I had. Even if I can only give a small contribution, every little bit goes to help another student in the position that I was in.

RCDS formed the foundation of my education, my career, and my life. I will always be eternally grateful.

When I look at the history of my time in academics and research, I find that the top-ranked, singularly excellent and transformative learning experiences occurred at Rye Country Day School; I'd like to make sure that the opportunities for others to share these experiences are available!
