Capital Day School was founded in 1955 to provide students with an enriched, accelerated curriculum. It has adhered to that goal ever since.
The school began with grades kindergarten through fourth, and an additional grade level was added each succeeding year until reaching the eighth grade. The first class graduated from eighth grade in 1960. Capital Day School first occupied two converted houses on Capital Avenue. The students shared in the responsibility of maintenance of the building and grounds.
In 1967, the school moved from South Frankfort to its present location on Deepwood Drive. In 1982, an addition was built on the rear of the main building to house the library and science rooms. In 1989, remodeling of the school added a detached art room, office space, and an enlarged preschool area. During the summer of 1996, a new preschool building consisting of six classrooms was erected on the north side of the school’s property.
Our student body includes children from Franklin and surrounding counties. The school has hundreds of alumni who have been well served by the strong foundation that they received at CDS and of whom we are justifiably proud.
