Only by visiting CDS will you really be able to sense the school's energy and enthusiasm. Contact Amanda Richard, Assistant Director of Admission, (415) 861-5432 x337, to schedule a visit. For help figuring out how to make the most of a school visit, see what is recommended by the California Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools.
