La Jolla Country Day School



"Middle School is a time of enormous change and growth in a child. It is the bridge from the security of childhood that guides our children towards the rewards and responsibilities of adulthood. The new buildings will perfectly express and nurture this spirit."
  CHRIS SCHUCK,
  MIDDLE SCHOOL DIRECTOR



"The Library Academic Center will be the place to be on our campus – to celebrate literacy, community, and the wonders that technology brings to learning and research."
  SUSAN MIDDLETON,
  HEAD LIBRARIAN

PROJECTS

Our teachers and administrators are among the finest educators in the nation. Our goal for our children is to develop into the best individuals they can be. Our parents are dedicated and involved. Clearly, Country Day is an outstanding community.

Let us say to all who visit our campus, students, teachers, parents, staff, alumni, prospective members of the Country Day family, friends, we have high expectations. We ask the best of ourselves, of our students, of our campus. We value education. We see the potential in every child. This initial phase of our campus improvements clearly underscores the school’s ongoing adherence to three key objectives – preparing children exceptionally well for their academic futures, strengthening them as individuals, and providing them the safe haven of a supportive and caring community.

Building our Endowment

It is time, now, to continue this legacy of excellence. As exceptional as these new facilities will be, this crucial undertaking is also about ensuring the financial stability of Country Day by increasing the endowment. For Country Day that means significantly building our endowment over time.

Upgrading to a Field of Dreams

Beyond the Middle School and Library Academic Center, the first step in refurbishing the athletic fields is completed. In keeping with the Country Day mission of developing the athlete in every child, a component of this campaign is a lighted,all-weather, turf field for our football, soccer, and lacrosse teams. This type of field is the new gold standard in athletic fields and will be followed by further expansion and improvements in athletic facilities in future phases of the master plan implementation.
