Metairie Park Country Day School is a private Pre-K through 12 school located in Metairie, Louisiana. It serves about 730 students with roughly 95 faculty members, indicating a mid-sized private educational institution in the region. The school was founded in 1929 by families seeking an alternative to the area's traditional schooling options, with early classes held in the current administration building and a small boarding program operating through the 1950s; an early childhood program was added in 1986. Over time the institution integrated elements of a traditional college preparatory model to support student college placement in a competitive landscape. Its mission centers on attentive, individualized education and a collaborative relationship among students, teachers, and families, incorporating freedom balanced with responsibility, engagement with students' interests, and an emphasis on beauty in nature, art, and music, supported by a long-standing alumni network.
