Welcome to the Middle School at La Jolla Country Day School, where we nurture the maturation of our young scholars in Grades 5–8 during a pivotal time in their lives. A bridge between the Lower and Upper Schools, the Middle School challenges students within a nurturing environment and provides opportunities to explore a variety of academic offerings, technology, physical education, music, art, community service, and leadership roles.
As a school, we place great value on preparing our students for the Upper School and also for a world beyond academia. We believe in the education of the whole child—inside and outside of the classroom—and encourage students to develop intellectually as well as into citizens of good character.
Experiential Education
All students participate in experiential learning expeditions, where they explore California’s unparalleled natural landscape, from the grandeur of the Colorado River to the serenity of the Santa Monica Mountains. Students are also challenged with various outdoor activities, including camping, hiking, rock climbing, caving, kayaking, snorkeling, canoeing, and cross-country skiing.
