What do The Hotchkiss School, Deerfield Academy, Berkshire School, Choate, Pittsfield High School, Salisbury School, Buxton School, Westminster School, Millbrook School, Miss Hall’s School, Monument Mountain High School, Northfield Mount Herman, Loomis Chaffee, Lenox Memorial High School, Williston Northampton School, George School, Milton Academy, The Taft School, Westtown School, The Putney School, and many other secondary schools all have in common? They all want students from Berkshire Country Day School to enroll and contribute to the quality of their educational environment and community next year.
It is clear to me that the source of our greatest pride in Berkshire Country Day School is found in our students. Smart, engaged, capable, and prepared – each has met with great success and achievement in the classroom, on our teams, in arts ensembles, and as involved community members, mentors, and classmates. As individuals, each has found their voice, approached learning and life with integrity, acquired the skill of being a self-advocate, and has a good sense of who they are and what they want to pursue. Because each of our students has experienced how they are a part of a larger group experience, each understands the value of community and how to invest in the success of others. I am confident in their potential to meaningfully contribute to their next school environment.
It is in every student’s master plan to leave BCD filled with the promise of future success and continued fulfillment. We are privileged to have these outstanding schools eager to meet and engage with our students and their families. Their interest in our students reflects the quality of a Berkshire Country Day School education. While a full and exciting year lies ahead, Carmen Dockery Perkins, the faculty, and I stand behind each of our students. We are prepared to offer our best efforts as we promote them and assist with the process as they contemplate and plan for the next step in their educational journey.
