We Look Forward to Meeting You
Let's get started.
Join us for a GROUP TOUR!
Throughout January, you can join us for a Group Tour! Select the tour that's right for you for an up close and personal visit of early elementary (Pre-K & Kindergarten), elementary (grades 1-5), or Middle School (grades 6-8). Come see our school in action and meet our dedicated and talented teachers and the bright, curious, and amazing students who fill their classrooms. See the dates and times below.
Our Open House events for Key School and Upper School have concluded. Please contact a member of our Admission Team if you are interested in Key School or Upper School for the 2025-2026 school year.
We look forward to sharing all that is special about the Carolina Day community with you.

At Carolina Day, we encourage, empower, and educate.
A Carolina Day School education prepares students for an ambitious, purpose-driven life, well past their time here on campus—for a future world with jobs, careers, and challenges that are being developed even as they learn. We know that how students learn is as important as what students learn.
We look forward to sharing all that is special about the Carolina Day community with you. Please reach out to any member of the team directly. Feel free to complete an inquiry form or application online. We look forward to assisting you!
To schedule your tour please contact the appropriate team member.
