An Extra-ordinary curriculum

For over 65 years, Loudoun Country Day School has provided an excellent education in a nurturing environment. LCDS students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, discover their talents, solve problems and make a positive difference in their community. Hands-on projects and immersive educational experiences are designed to instill a love of learning in each student and to prepare our graduates for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Our academic program emphasizes these characteristics: 

Challenging Academics: Through small class sizes (6:1 student-teacher ratio) and a faculty passionate about teaching, we ensure that the classroom is a place where students develop their ability to think critically and creatively, building a strong academic foundation.

Integrated Extras: LCDS’s holistic curriculum includes arts, athletics, World Languages, STEM, public speaking, character education and so much more. Participation in these “extras” is required, pushing students to let go of the familiar and try new skills. 

Character and Values: Our emphasis on social and emotional development and service learning starts early and cultivates students with a deep understanding of the difference one person can make. We immerse our students in an atmosphere of responsibility, integrity, citizenship and leadership.

Hands-on Learning: LCDS’s experiential, hands-on model of learning empowers students to become self-directed learners and confident leaders. Immersive projects with real-world impact allow students to apply the problem-solving skills they’ve cultivated since Day 1.
