School Notes
- Our Berkshire Country Day School campus is home to Brook Farm Preschool (for 2.5-4 year old children) and our Pre-K through Eighth Grade.
- On BCD's rural 26-acre campus you will find meadows, trails, clear mountain streams, and a pond replete with nature, as well as four playing fields, two two playgrounds and an enclosed play yard for your youngest students. In the classroom, our students delve into a comprehensive academic program that includes an innovative curriculum that incorporates civic action. Our students experience our Signature Programs with hands-on instruction in our STEAM lab and develop outdoor skills in Outdoor Learning.
- Our youngest students have classes dedicated to social-emotional learning while our older students engage deeply in Humanities, Geography, Science, Mathematics, and Algebra, and language skills including French and Latin. Their academic journey culminates in a Capstone Program, in which they research, outline, write and rewrite, and present a topic of their choice.
- Our academic goals are based on five pillars that frame our curriculum and our culture:empathy, literacy, sustainability, engagement, and social justice.We also share a culture of belonging, one in which every student and family becomes part of our BCD community.

School Reviews
5 12/17/2016
Our daughter enrolled at BCD this year as a 5th grader and we have had an extremely positive and supportive experience at BCD from the start! The campus and community is warm and welcoming. We were extremely impressed with the language, arts, music and extracurricular activities that are offered at BCD. It's as if the school were made for our daughter - she absolutely LOVES BCD, and the transition was virtually seamless. Enrolling at BCD has truly been the best thing we could have done for our daughter and our family.
