Boulder Country Day

My son entered BCD in 6th grade this past Fall. It has been an absolutely extraordinary experience so far. He was immediately included by all the students and made friends quickly and easily. All of the kids were so welcoming and kind. The teachers and administration have been supportive, interested in engaging with us as parents, and they all have really gotten to know my son very well. I really appreciate the social-emotional aspects they have engrained into their curriculum and mission. The academics are the correct level of rigor for this age group- just the right balance. The class sizes are great large enough to provide enough social diversity but small enough for the teachers to really get to know and support each individual child. My son LOVES going to school every day!

We have been at Boulder Country Day for 3 years having moved to Boulder in 2018. After touring both public and independent schools in Boulder, we found Boulder Country Day to have the strongest academic and school community offering. What really tipped the scales for us is the focus on social, emotional development and growth. This focus, combined with an emphasis on citizenship, builds a foundation for individual confidence and leadership. We've found BCD teachers to be engaged, compassionate and focused on, and accommodate for the individual needs of each of our children. The Bulldog Family program, comprised a student in each grade per family, creates a sense of connection for students as well as leadership opportunities as students rise through the grades. We've been pleased with the variety of art and music offerings in the Elementary School. The after-school sports programs starting in 5th grade further instill a sense of community among the students delivering instruction on technique/skill and team sportsmanship. BCD administrative leadership is exemplary - communicating effectively and listening to the priorities of parents and faculty. Above all, BCD's family and community is incredibly strong. Parents are engaged, welcoming and contribute to fostering a positive and dynamic culture.

We moved to Boulder mid-pandemic with our Kindergartener and found a true home at BCD - a place where our little guy has thrived as both a student and citizen. We were welcomed by a community of engaged and positive parents, faculty, and staff. The quality of learning and curriculum are unparalleled and age appropriate, with enthusiastic special teachers and exposure to two languages starting in preschool! Our two younger children will join him this coming school year. We`re so happy to have found BCD!

BCD is truly exceptional. Everything from the teachers and administrators, to the level of communication, to the parents and families at the school -- every aspect of Boulder Country Day is amazing.I didn't think it was possible to care as much as the teachers and administrators do at BCD. They're thoughtful, kind, compassionate, and smart. There is a strong math, science, reading, and language presence throughout the campus. Our very young daughter can sing in French already!Dropoffs are fun and easy. The hours are great. Super creative afterschool classes - I'm an especially big fan of messy art and cooking! There's a very simple-to-use meal delivery service for lunches. School parties foster the fun side of meeting other parents, weekly assemblies bring everyone together. Switching to BCD was one of the best choices we've made. It affects our lives in a positive way every single day and is a truly a gem in Boulder.

BCD has been such a great experience for our child! He is thriving in their nurturing, academically rigorous environment. Its a wonderful community and we're glad to be a part of it!

BCD is a great school filled with kids who love learning, parents who want their children to meet their potential and faculty to see, know and love their students. Our son has loved it. We moved him from Boulder public schools and he had three things to share: he's more challenged which he likes; he gets to participate in class more because the classes are smaller; and he loves his teachers. We were worried about the size but that hasn't been an issue. He's made good friends and he loves it. We couldn't be happier and we''d recommend it without hesitation!
