Students in the grades 9 through 12 were offered a wide variety of courses on a 5 day alternating schedule, including AP courses as available. Languages taught in these grades included both French and Spanish. There was a robust theatre program, with a comedy or drama performed in the fall and a musical in the spring. In addition to the theatre program, Country Day's music program was held in high esteem, including both a middle school and high school choir, middle and high school band, a bell ensemble, and a steel drum band. These groups performed in twice-yearly concerts; a Christmas concert and an end of year spring concert.
In 2013, following the closure of the Hovensa oil refinery on island and the subsequent loss of many members of the student body, St. Croix Country Day School merged with the Good Hope School to form the Good Hope Country Day School. The merged school, however, still holds its classes on the Country Day campus.
