Celebrating 60 Years of Excellence

The 2023-24 academic year marks Fort Worth Country Day’s 60th anniversary. The School began as an idea, envisioned over cups of coffee and lengthy discussions. A Board of Trustees was formed, a plot of land was obtained, a Head of School was hired, and ground was broken. On September 9, 1963, FWCD opened its doors to 210 students in grades 1-9 and 17 faculty members. The campus consisted of three buildings. Today, FWCD comprises 104 acres with 13 buildings, serves students in grades JK-12, and employs approximately 250 faculty and staff members. Over the past six decades, the School has continuously evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of education while upholding its core values, academic rigor, character development and community engagement.

Throughout the academic year, the Falcon community will commemorate the 60th anniversary and reflect on the remarkable achievements of FWCD students, alumni, faculty and staff at various traditional school activities and special events. There will be something for everyone to enjoy.  

At Fort Worth Country Day, every child has the potential to achieve greatness. The dedicated faculty and staff create an environment where students thrive through the School’s time-honored 3A’s – academics, arts and athletics. We are excited to welcome new families and continue nurturing the talents of our current students for the next 60 years and beyond.

FWCD’s 4,537 graduates have become leaders in diverse fields, positively impacting their local and global communities. The School takes great pride in their accomplishments and the strong foundation they built at Fort Worth Country Day.

Together, let’s honor our past, embrace the present and shape the future. We look forward to celebrating all year long.
