The CinDay Academy, located in the Greater Cincinnati/Dayton area, is a licensed Preschool-12th grade institution committed to providing a tailored curriculum. Our creative and caring teachers guide student learning, addressing diverse styles and interests through small, flexible groupings. Motivated students excel, leading to higher achievement.

Situated on a 7-acre campus near downtown Springboro, CDA features 4 classroom buildings and a multi-purpose arts & fitness facility. The grounds include multiple sports courts, playgrounds, and unique outdoor learning spaces.

At CinDay, we empower students to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and compassionate leaders. Our dedicated educators serve as facilitators, guiding students on a journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth. Through a carefully designed curriculum and personalized attention, we create an atmosphere where curiosity is nurtured, and potential is realized.

If traditional teaching methods aren't effectively supporting your child academically, it's time to explore a new approach. CinDay offers a tailored solution, reigniting their love for learning and restoring confidence. Every child has a unique story, and at CinDay, we take the time to listen because understanding their story holds the key to unlocking their full potential.

Strength in Community

In our small, close-knit community, students are known, valued, and inspired. Devoted teachers provide a safe and nurturing environment where students find both belonging and academic success. Our families and faculty are united by a common goal: our belief in our students and our desire to help each child grow and develop as learners, leaders, and citizens.

Learning Without Limits

CinDay’s innovative, research-based approach to education ignites a love of learning, builds a strong academic foundation, and sets students free to follow their own path. Differentiated instruction means that students can work beyond grade level and pursue their passions and interests with guidance and support from teachers they trust.

Inspired to Excel

 By the numbers, the results are clear: CinDay students consistently average in the 95th percentile on standardized tests, and 99 percent of our students are college-bound. But numbers tell only part of the story—experiences prove the value of our approach. Our teachers emphasize the learning process over the end product. Hands-on, Project-Based Learning allows students to delve deeply into diverse subjects and learn through real-world engagement.

A Letter from The CinDay Academy Head of School

Welcome to CinDay! I’m so glad that you are exploring the CinDay Academy, because I believe in its mission: To provide a safe and nurturing environment where students find belonging and academic success through differentiated learning. 

As a parent and grandparent, I understand that our children learn best in an environment where they feel safe, accepted and valued.  As a CinDay leader for nearly 20 years, I have seen first-hand the successful outcomes in the lives of our students as they complete their academic journeys here.

While at CinDay, children from PreK through Grade 12 come to understand themselves not just as learners, but also as leaders, communicators, collaborators, critical thinkers and creatives.  Our superb teachers take great care to foster confident thinkers and curious problem-solvers. They balance high expectations with reassuring support, inspiring each child to work hard, be kind, give their best effort, and blossom into their full potential.

As a CinDay student, your child will have many opportunities to wonder, imagine, reflect, persevere, and triumph through our key teaching methods:  Sustained Inquiry, Project-Based Learning, and Small Group Differentiation.

They will find a small community of friends and compassionate teachers to help them emerge fully prepared to succeed in college and beyond. 

CinDay’s vision, as spelled out in our Portrait of a Graduate, lays a strong foundation to help your child become a healthy, self-assured, passionate lifelong learner, and a positive, contributing member of their community.  That is our goal for every child.

Our faculty and staff work tirelessly, honing their teaching craft and exposing our students to creative and exciting challenges in all content areas.  We strive to unlock the potential in each student, inspire their intellectual curiosity, and assist in their growth and maturity in a safe and caring environment. 

Please come visit with us and experience the warmth and energy of The CinDay Academy.
