Philosophy
Berkshire Country Day School’s intentional approach of inquiry, discovery, and discussion blends proven methods with emerging best practices to draw fully on the experiences and contributions of our entire school community. Our comprehensive curriculum, which includes project-based and experiential learning, leverages the talents of our exemplary educators and the natural resources of our extraordinary campus to inspire independence, academic excellence, and mutual respect.
Inspiring the individual promise of every student.
Berkshire Country Day School is the only PreK through Grade 9 school in Berkshire County that is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and has been providing students with an academically vigorous and well-rounded independent school education since 1946.
Today, BCD holds true to its mission to encourage academic excellence at the highest level, to advance each student’s individual promise, and to foster responsive and responsible citizenship.
Why Attend BCD?
“Our daughter is thriving. She needed more of a challenge and she’s getting it at BCD. It’s rigorous, but still nurturing. Everyday she comes home so excited about something new. There are a lot of lively conversations at our dinner table!”
