Established in 1946, BCD has long been a pillar in the academic community in the Berkshire and Columbia counties; BCD graduates have gone on to success at Secondary Schools such as Phillips Exeter Academy, Northfield Mount Herman, and the Berkshire School, in addition to top area public schools. BCD is home to a 26 acre campus on the border between the towns of Stockbridge and Lenox in Berkshire County and offers four playing fields, multiple play areas, as well as groomed Nordic Ski trails and hiking trails.

BCD’s progressive academic curriculum supports our students with an intentional approach of inquiry, discovery, and discussion blending proven methods with emerging best practices. Our signature programs of social emotional learning and civics action begin in Preschool classes and continue through to our rigorous Middle School curriculum.

After school, BCD offers enrichment programs, an After-School Program (PM) for our youngest students, and a varied Athletic program. With small classes and individualized attention, our students are known and seen.
