Carrollwood Day School (CDS) is an independent, coeducational day school in Tampa, Florida, educating children from age two through grade 12. It began in 1982 as a small preschool and has grown into a full-through school on two sites: the Early Childhood Campus for toddlers to kindergarten and the Bearss Avenue Campus for elementary, middle and upper school students. CDS is an International Baccalaureate World School and describes itself as the only school on Florida's west coast offering the full IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme from the early years to grade 5, the Middle Years Programme from grade 6 to grade 10 and the Diploma Programme in grades 11 and 12. Its motto is Education with Character, and its mission focuses on developing principled, entrepreneurial thinkers for a global society. The school is a member of Round Square, offers the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and was admitted to the Cum Laude Society in 2019. Distinctive programmes include an Entrepreneurship Institute with pitch competitions and an incubator, a TEDx event and a strong arts and athletics programme. Every graduate since the first class of 2009 has been admitted to a four-year university.
