Loudoun Country Day School

Loudoun Country Day School (LCDS) is an independent school located in Northern Virginia, serving students from preschool through eighth grade. The school's core mission is to inspire lifelong learning while fostering critical and creative thinking, compassion, and character among its students. LCDS caters to a diverse range of learners, including those with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional students, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to thrive academically and socially.

At the heart of LCDS's educational approach is a hands-on, experiential learning model. Students engage in various programs that include art, music, physical education, STEM classes, and social-emotional learning. The school's Garden Lab provides opportunities for students to experiment and cultivate their creativity, while regular field trips and community service projects help them connect with the world around them. Special events like public speaking engagements further enhance their communication skills and confidence.

What sets Loudoun Country Day School apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, allowing for personalized attention tailored to each child's unique needs. Strong partnerships with families are fostered through open communication and community events that celebrate student achievements. Additionally, specialized facilities such as the newly introduced Learning Tree and the presence of a therapy dog named Kai contribute to a nurturing environment where students feel safe, valued, and engaged in their educational journey.
