Arlington Country Day School (ACDS) is a private school in Jacksonville, Florida. A non-sectarian coeducational school, it offers a K-12 education and enrolls over 400 students a year.〔("Arlington Country Day School" ). National Center for Education Statistics. Retrieved November 22, 2010.〕 It is particularly notable for its successful boys' basketball program. ==History== Arlington Country Day School opened its doors as a private, coeducational elementary school, serving students from kindergarten through the eighth grade in 1954. It was located on a small suburban campus in Jacksonville's Arlington neighborhood. It received full accreditation from the Florida Council of Independent Schools in 1968. In 1990, Fred H. Lichtward became an owner and headmaster of the school, and pushed to expand it into a full K-12 school. In 1991 a full middle school was added. In 1995 it began the establishment of a high school, offering two academic programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Arlington Country Day School )〕〔"Building a school a year at a time; Country Day has sophomores now", ''Florida Times-Union by Monica Richardson, September 25, 1996.
