La Jolla Country Day School has made a world of difference in my children. They love attending school everyday and are excelling in more than just the classroom. We are particularly impressed by the collaboration between lower school teachers and the educational specialists. The kids get PE everyday, Spanish 4 times a week, and nutritious food.

Seems like there is a trend about administration and bullying. Don't waste your money. Administration has absolutely no concerns over students' safety or well-being. They oreach a unch of bull!!! My child was severely bullied and the administration deflected and voided the issues. My child was treated like trash for being dark.

We have 3 boys at LJCDS (one lifer and two long timers although not quite lifers) and it has been a great experience for all of them. Our oldest just graduated and he really came into his own at LJCDS...his relationships with his teachers/educators will last a lifetime and had an incredibly positive impact on him...not just as a student but as a leader in the community. His brothers love it as well and we are very proud to be a La Jolla Country Day Family.

We have a 6th grader (middle school) and 3rd grader (lower school) at LJCDS. We love the progressive style of teaching with the emphasis on developing both the character and intellect of students. (They use "dignity" as a foundation for character development.) Academics are rigorous with plenty of o...

My children have loved their experience at Country Day. The teachers/administration provide a great education while promoting collaboration and kindness. We feel fortunate that our children have such a strong and supportive community of parents, teachers and friends. We highly recommend this school.
