North Shore Country Day was founded by a group of local parents who wanted to bring progressive, modern education to the North Shore of Chicago.

Today, parents still play an important role in the life of the school. They volunteer in various roles including on the Board of Trustees, in the classrooms, and through the Parents’ Association (PA). They partner with teachers to help their children succeed and they support NSCD's fundraising programs. We are most grateful!

The Parents' Association

The mission of the NSCD Parents’ Association (PA) is to promote a strong sense of community among parents, and to facilitate communication, connection and involvement throughout the school community.

Founded in 1919, the PA is our parent-run volunteer organization. Every parent or guardian of an NSCD student is a member of the PA. The PA welcomes new families, organizes community building events, offers opportunities for families to come together, and supports the efforts of the school to make NSCD the best possible learning environment for our children.
 
Whether you are a new family or have been here for many years, participating in PA events is a fun and rewarding way to get involved. We have numerous volunteer opportunities for those who have limited availability and those who have more time to give. We value and appreciate all participation.
