Confidence, character, and capability aren’t simply personality traits. At BCD, these are educational outcomes.

It makes sense that the Berkshires is home base for artisanal and small batch craftsmanship. We’ve taken it one step further in the quality, care, and distinction that comes from BCD’s intentionally sized classes offering expansive opportunities.

Proudly screen-free since 2023.

We believe that literacy is fundamental to all success. With that, we have added thousands of new books to our Library in the last two years. Count on seeing books tucked under arms!

Students enjoy coursework inside and outside of the classroom- studying, caring for, and enjoying our incredible and historic 26 acre campus.

Students graduate from BCD with knowledge, skill, character, and confidence. Our students enroll in competitive independent secondary schools and excellent local schools.

BCD students matter and are kind, funny, adventurous, and creative thinkers.

BCD was the perfect school for our son. A place where he was seen, heard, and could be himself. Where he wasn’t afraid to try new things and push himself beyond his comfort zone. Where he grew emotionally and intellectually. Dedicated and amazing faculty and staff and the small and safe campus make this school a true gem. We are forever grateful for our family’s time there.
