A private preparatory school in the Detroit Metropolitan area.

A school where the boys go on to be frat boy rapists and the girls use their daddy’s money to pay for drugs and alcohol while they spend their life posing for sorority Instagram pages.
Frat boy 1: where did you go to high school?
Frat boy 2: Detroit Country Day hbu?
Frat boy 1: oh same.

Originally based in Detroit, but quickly moved to the suburbs area of metro Detroit when admissions actually became significant, the school is a secular private institution. There are three campuses and four schools in total. The Upper school is the equivalent of a Highschool and is - in my honest opinion- the only high quality school experience.

The school year at DCDS is shorter than surrounding public schools, and the school offers days off and nights without homework due to several different cultural events.

The school uniform at the Upper School for men consists of a general tie, a white shirt with a DCDS monogram, khaki or grey pants with a DCDS monogram, dress shoes obviously, and an expensive blazer or varsity sweater on top of it all. The top button of the button down shirt is meant to be buttoned at most times, but the faculty is lenient. You must be clean-shaven, or you will get a detention.

No hats, no earrings, no visible tattoos, no piercings, cell phones must be off unless between classes, you must wear a belt, and have your collar buttons done. This is, of course, if you get caught by a dean or draw attention to yourself in class.

Women may wear a khaki, blue, or grey skirt, or (this is new) they may wear pants like the guys. A girl does not need to wear a tie with a blazer or a sweater every day, but she needs a blazer on color days.

The Honors and AP classes are relaxed yet difficult.
The classes offered to ordinary students may have teachers that are either too lenient or too harsh.

Most homework dished out is busywork, and many moral standards are expected of the students. Every three or four weeks their is a CARE event or assembly which the entire school promptly sleeps through.

Although the school is known to "recruit" students, most people come to the school of their own curiosity or ambition. Due to higher numbers of financial aid students and scholarship students, the school is losing money recently despite the ever-rising tuition cost.

Faculty children are ,on average, as capable as any other student at DCD. Many faculty kids start at Country Day in one of the lower of the four schools. Unfortunately though, many faculty children develop unusual traits in response to the harsh environment.

Attending DCDS often creates a feeling of superiority in the student; they like to say that they're a "cut above". Although arrogance is quite common amongst DCDS students, they're completely aware of it and often satirize themselves for this feature.

In short a country day student is generally: qualified, overworked and a lazy snob
DCDS Student 1:"Did you hear that a freshman got a perfect score on the MMPC?"
DCDS Student 2:"Hmm? No, I was too busy last night watching us win the Men's Soccer State finals, while at the same time practicing my viola for Solo & Enemble for Orchestra Festival."
DCDS Student 1:"Yeah, so you didn't finish your homework did you?"
DCDS Student 2:"Haha, I still have the rest of assembly to do that!"

Athlete 1: "Did you hear that our next game is against Detroit Country Day?"
Athlete 2: "Aaah... Fuck."

A Detroit Country Day student starts school after labor day and a DCDS senior does not attend actual school for the last quarter of the year.

Where suck-ups and star athletes thrive but normal kids get pushed aside. The competition for a high school is ridiculous. Awards and recognition by teachers are more important than true friends. The headmaster is as good of a speaker as George Bush and the Dean articulates like he has an IQ of 8. There are some really good teachers but the majority need to go back to college and get a teaching degree because they don't make sense during class.
Previous definitions failed to mention how most of the guys aren't much better than the girls. The guys who are pricks think they are gods but when they get to college their asses will be pummeled and then they'll cry. Dating a Brother Rice boy seems to make them mad because they are "rivals" both on and off the field (idiots). The girls always seem to dress exactly the same on casual days. We have girls who come up with retarded acronyms for their names. (seriously WHO DOES THAT?!?) Some people think that their entire grade is friends with eachother but that is bullshit. Just because you're "popular" doesn't mean everyone likes you. Most are just entertained by your blatant acts of stupidity.
Restriction and restraints are how they control us. There is NO school spirit, it dies a little more each time new rules like "No more Jenga during study halls it gets too 'rowdy'" are made. We are watched constantly like criminals. Retared rules are made for everyone because the administration is too afraid to punish just a few students because those student's parents donate money (or they are the child of an administrator).
Besides, what the fuck kind of name is "Detroit Country Day"?! We aren't that close to Detroit but we aren't out in the country either and where does the "Day" even come from?!
If you still go to DCDS and can't get out just remember; stay under the radar of the assholes (adults and kids alike) and you'll be fine...that or just give all the jackasses hell.
And to the two people who wrote before me; it sounds like we are already friends and if we aren't we should be. ;)
And if any fuckin dick writes something after this that tries to defend Country Day or ridicule these definitions I just want to tell them that they are the exact person that most despised. But hey be who you are, it takes all kinds and I don't give a flying fuck.
public schooler: "hey you seem bitter. where did you go to school?"
country day student : "...i paid for prison"
public schooler: "?..oh yeah i hear Detroit Country Day is a bitch"
:another example below:
kiss ass: "omigod! sign my yearbook?"
person with a soul: *thinking 'wow you are SO fake'* "ummm...yeah sure" *writes 'please do not keep in touch'*

A college preparatory school located in the Detroit Metropolitan area. The system is corrupt and half the school tuition goes to the headmaster (see: twat) to pay for his brand new yacht. What's left of the $20,000+ tuition is spent on useless landscaping and hiring caterers when the state health inspectors drop by to evaluate the low-budget lunch program. The remaining funds are spent buying basketball player from other schools to play on our team. Donations are literally begged for by the headmaster.

They say that they treat you like adults, but in reality, they treat you like you can't take a shit without hurting yourself.

What we are not allowed to do:

Hug (It's innapropriate)
Carry a backpack around (It's not safe)
Toss a saltine cracker at my friend
Take off our vests when we are hot
Wear a coat when they try and cut back on the heating bill
Voice our opinion
Laugh
Play Jenga
Play Cards

Generally, DCD sucks camel penis.
Scott: What school do you go to?
Kyle: Detroit Country Day.
Scott: Your life must suck then.

an overrated trash prep school, where they buy black athletes from poor schools to play their sports for them. A diverse school, in which asian and indian doctor families have nothing better to do with their money. a school which everyone clearly hates, where there is nothing better to do than do homework 24/7, where the only good thing is the ice cream,and the events suck. Where girls learn how to be sloppy and slutty, frying their hair with their straightners every second they can (ie. bathrooms, lockerrooms) except that the locker rooms have a reputation for being dike city. The girls think their gross ties are hot, and wear half skirts and 1748574923 inch platforms, while the whole time, the country day guys arent looking at the hoes. Also, a place where girls like to act dumb to look cute.
Guy 1: man i hooked up with a Detroit Country Day girl last nite
Guy 2: oh god, man that sucks im sorry
Guy 1: what did u do last nite
Guy 2: actually met smart goodlooking girls that arent fake
Guy 1: oh man too bad we dont have any of those at our school
