About

Mission and Vision

Our Mission

Boulder Country Day School provides a well-rounded education of academic excellence and character development in a safe environment, empowering our students to reach their full potential as lifelong learners and responsible, globally aware citizens.

Our Vision

A BCD education is rooted in classical traditions yet embraces diversity and innovation. Students master core fundamental academic skills in reading, writing, mathematics, history, science, fine arts, Latin and world languages. They are taught to think critically, question bravely, and act responsibly. All of this is accomplished through contemporary, best practice methodology in a supportive learning environment.

Our Motto

Respect Yourself.  Respect Others.  Take Responsibility for Your Actions.

  • Kind - They care about their community, are responsible, inclusive, and respectful.
  • Resourceful - They innovate, create, and seek connections between what they learn and the world around them.
  • Confident - They know who they are, take risks, persevere, and are unafraid to fail.
  • Empowered - They are academically prepared, technologically savvy, effective communicators, and advocate for themselves and others.
  • Well-rounded - They perform, discover, compete, serve, and enjoy being part of something larger than themselves.
  • Good Citizens – They act with integrity, they are honest, and they are equipped to make ethical choices.
