Welcome
to La Jolla Country Day School, a premier Age 3 - Grade 12
educational institution in San Diego that enjoys more than 80 years of
dedication to students and families. Country Day is passionate about
providing the best college preparatory education possible for our
students -- one that shapes them into creative thinkers,
and responsible young citizens. We achieve this through a rigorous
academic program, a nurturing environment, multi-layered global engagement,
and a commitment to good character.
Our school offers a wide
diversity and depth of programs for the scholar, artist, and athlete
alike, as these pages reflect. You can gain more information about
these aspects of Country Day under the "Our Program" menu and we hope
you will explore the "Admission" pages and call to schedule a personal
tour of our campus.
La Jolla Country Day School attracts and
retains a world-class faculty comprised of diverse and award-winning
teachers with an average tenure of 15 years, including 71% with
postgraduate degrees. They are committed and passionate about providing
their students a superior educational experience and quality of life
that goes beyond the classroom. Our faculty directory under "About
LJCDS" can give you details on each of these extraordinary educators
and will link to their individual Web pages.
Our families look to
this website to keep up to date with our full calendars, exciting news
and events in each division, our active Parents' Association events, as
well as our long-range planning and decision-making. Our Parent/Student
Handbook is online this year for the first time, providing easy
navigation and quick access to the policies that keep our campus safe
and organized.
Finally, students, parents, faculty, and
visitors alike enjoy This Week in Review, the home page feature that
catalogues the highlights of the interesting, thoughtful, and amazing
activities that happen every day behind our classroom doors, throughout
our community, and even in far-flung places where Country Day students
are gaining knowledge and developing character. Here's a hint: The
photos are the best.
I hope you enjoy the La Jolla Country Day
School website on your computers, PDAs, phones - however you reach us.
We'll be right here.
All the best,
Christopher Schuck
Head of School
