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.
