Who We Are
Welcome to Boulder Country Day School.
Meet our Head of School
Daily, I feel grateful to be leading this community. Its optimism, shared sense of purpose, and commitment to belonging create a unique environment where children innovate, create, grow, and thrive.
The Boulder Country Day challenge, Discover Your Excellence, recognizes that excellence is teachable, personal, and can be achieved in a variety of different disciplines - academic, athletic, community service, leadership, and more. Should you decide to join our family, I promise you that BCD will provide your child the right combination of nurture, structure, and latitude to live up to this challenge.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
John H. Suitor III

Meet our Faculty and Staff
Meet our Board of Trustees
Boulder Country Day, like most independent schools, is governed by a self-selecting Board of Trustees comprised of current parents, past parents, alumni, and community leaders. The Board’s primary role is to hold our school’s mission in trust for future generations of BCD families. In that role, the Board, while working closely with the Head of School and the administrative leadership team develops and reviews broad, long-range, institutional policy, ensures the school’s financial sustainability, plans strategically for the school’s future, and raises funds for annual and capital projects.
