The Country Day School movement grew out of the progressive education movement that traces its roots to the late 19th century in America. Country Day Schools provide the educational rigor, learning environment, community and values that rank them with the very best independent schools in the country. School buildings and campus landscaping are intentionally designed with the goal of creating an inspirational environment that fosters learning and culture. The programming at Country Day Schools is planned to promote the development of the whole child while providing a range of arts and after-school offerings to advance camaraderie, creativity, and leadership.
As parents search for school options that best suit their children and families, they may encounter unfamiliar educational philosophies. When exploring schools it is important to consider not just one year, one teacher, or a specific amenity. Instead, each school should be understood as a whole. The school’s values as they are exhibited throughout the classrooms and the community are to be embraced by parents and students alike.
True to our roots, Berkshire Country Day School exists to inspire the promise of every student, and our philosophy guides us to encourage academic excellence at the highest level while realizing each student’s potential for well-rounded development.
