Berkshire Country Day School is pleased to share new Merit Scholar opportunities for Middle School candidates.

BCD seeks motivated, curious, and empathetic candidates applying for Grades 6-7. Applicants are selected for admission based on their academic and extracurricular potential, as well as their interest in an independent school community that focuses on civic engagement.

BCD will strive to award the greatest number of qualified candidates in the Middle School while increasing geographic diversity across Berkshire County and Columbia County. It will remain the purview of BCD Admissions that applicants are evaluated and the level of tuition assistance determined based on the application and financial aid processes. This is an exciting time at BCD and we look forward to meeting interested students and families.

Interested families should:

Visit www.berkshirecountryday.org to learn more about our mission, values, and academic program.

Email Melissa Kruse, Director of Admissions and Student Life, at mkruse@berkshirecountryday.org to signal interest in arranging a visit and applying for this opportunity in Grades 6-7.

Applicants will submit a completed application including a recommendation from a community leader addressing the candidate’s interest in civics/community engagement, as well as financial aid forms for review by the Admissions Committee. This is the same process for fall enrollment or January (mid-year) enrollment.
