OUR MISSION

The mission of Aylett Country Day School is to develop children’s full potential in a creative, nurturing environment.

We are committed to academic excellence through an innovative, enriching curriculum. As a school community, we

are dedicated to building character and fostering traditional values including citizenship, honesty, and respect.

OUR VISION

Aylett Country Day School will be the school of choice for families who seek an environment in which their children will succeed personally, academically, artistically, and athletically.

Kindergar t en , Class o f 2027 Every effort has been made to ensure that each listing is accurate and complete. We regret and apologize for any inadvertent errors or omissions and ask that notification of the corrected information be sent to the school.

A Message of Gratitude – Dear Friends, Once again, we are delighted to convey that 2017-2018 was another banner year for Aylett Country Day School. Not only we were strong in admissions and enrollment, but we also exceeded our fundraising goals and achieved record participation. This Annual Report recognizes and celebrates those who have given time, treasure, and talent to our school. Your investment in our school directly supports the incredible faculty and enriches the experience of all of our students, from our youngest preschool learners to our eighth grade leaders. Last year, we were able to achieve record Annual Fund participation from 100% Board, 100% Faculty and Staff, and 100% Parent. Most importantly, we were able to offer the kind of education that our founders envisioned to over 170 children. We did this because of the amazing community that supports us – our parents, grandparents, teachers, alumni, and friends of the school who give their time, money, and energy so that the school stays strong. Thank you for all that you do to support the Aylett mission. It would be almost impossible for us to thank each and every one of you personally for all that you give to the school, or to relate each and every one of the stories that would illustrate the ways in which your support helps our students and faculty. We do want you to know, however, that you are making a true and lasting difference in the lives of these young people, and that we are deeply grateful.

With warm regards,
