Philanthropy at FCDS

As a fully engaged community, we make the greatest impact when we come together.

At FCDS, we believe that great schools happen when three key elements —exceptional people, world-class programs, and outstanding facilities—converge. Thanks to the generosity and support of those who invest in our school, those elements come together every day at Forsyth Country Day, allowing us to provide the best possible educational experience for every member of our school community.

We are committed to inspiring a strong culture of philanthropy and community engagement, which is essential to support a leading independent school education and the healthy growth of our school. The outpouring of support from parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, and friends enables FCDS to fulfill our mission and expand our vision for what's ahead!
