About Democracy Day

Democracy Day at Fort Worth Country Day is designed to foster a deeper understanding of civic engagement, promote respectful dialogue, and empower you as future leaders of our society. Through a series of dynamic, student-centered activities, students will dive into the core principles that shape our democratic system - from the fundamental concept of equality to the delicate balance of powers that safeguard our freedoms.

As students navigate through these experiences, they will not only gain valuable insights into the mechanics of democracy but also explore the shared values that bind us as a community. Whether students are passionate about politics or just beginning to explore their roles as citizens, Democracy Day offers something for everyone. Students will challenge their assumptions, expand their horizons, and take an active role in shaping the future of our democracy.
