About PCD

Portrait of a PCD Graduate

At Providence Country Day, we believe an excellent education is measured by more than grades or test scores. Our Portrait of a Graduate describes the qualities every student develops on their journey here: curiosity to explore new ideas, an appreciation for both the process and the product of learning, and the ability to carry themselves with confident humility.

By the time they graduate, PCD students are not only prepared for college and career, but also ready to make meaningful contributions in their communities.

It’s a reflection of the kind of people our families want their children to become: thoughtful, capable, and authentic.
