About PCD
Our Leadership
Providence Country Day sparks the innate curiosity in all learners to actively participate in their education, not just observe or passively partake.
Head of School Welcome
On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, welcome to the Providence Country Day School! We are Rhode Island’s most joyful place for students and families to learn.
Providence Country Day serves 390 students from Pre-K through Grade 12 on our beautiful 35-acre campus in East Providence. We are large enough to offer a robust co-curricular program, yet small enough to ensure that every child is both challenged and supported to fully realize their potential.
As a parent, I understand firsthand how important it is to set our children up for success. Our school motto, Play the Game, sets the tone for all facets of school life. Our students embody this motto by taking bold risks and discovering hidden passions. At PCD, we know that students learn best by doing—by actively participating and not just observing from the sidelines!
We see your children as whole individuals: hardworking students who also pursue their passions in areas such as music, athletics, and community service. To nurture that balance, our teachers work collaboratively to ensure students are not overwhelmed with exams or projects all at once. We emphasize the quality of homework over quantity, so assignments engage students in the material rather than simply being another item on their to-do list. At PCD, we believe students can work hard, find balance, AND love school.
As partners in your family’s educational journey, we understand that attending PCD is part of your child’s path, not the destination. That’s why we are committed to providing the best possible experience at the most affordable price point in New England. Thanks to our tuition reset, PCD is now the most financially accessible independent school in Rhode Island.
Our website captures some of the magic at PCD, but it can’t show it all. To truly experience the joy and spirit of our community, I warmly invite you to visit our campus and feel the energy of PCD for yourself. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon.
Go Knights!
