The mission of Aylett Country Day School is to develop children’s full potential in a creative, nurturing environment. They are committed to academic excellence through an innovative, enriching curriculum. As a school community, they are dedication to building character and fostering traditional values including citizenship, honesty, and respect.

Aylett Country Day School’s vision is to be the school of choice for families who seek an environment in which their children will succeed personally, academically, artistically, and athletically.

Aylett depends on the strong support and involvement of parents to enhance the value of their child’s education in ways not always measured in dollars and cents. The board members, parents and many friends of Aylett will present this house tour as our holiday present to the community.  We hope you will enjoy the tour.
