We are thrilled to welcome Aaron Mendez as our Middle School Design & Innovation Teacher! He writes:
"Running is my main passion outside the classroom. I primarily focus on road racing, but I dabble in a bit of everything and enjoy taking on virtually any distance. My path to teaching grew out of my time as a tutor and coach through high school and college, where I found it incredibly fulfilling to help students and athletes break through their self-imposed physical or mental limits. As a substitute at BCD last year, I experienced a sense of community that is truly unmatched and saw how deeply everyone is committed to creating a rich educational experience for our students and I was hooked. I’m excited to be a full-time member of the middle school team and get to know my students on a deeper level and dive headfirst into the BCD community!"

What does it mean to be a citizen and how can young people help shape the future?

At Boulder Country Day, civics goes beyond learning how government works. It’s about asking thoughtful questions, listening to different perspectives, understanding our role in a community, and finding meaningful ways to contribute.

On Friday, September 18, our Middle School Student Council and Spotlight Singers will bring this learning to life through a school-wide assembly celebrating the U.S. Constitution and Constitution Day. All BCD families are invited to attend.

It’s a reminder that civic education isn’t just about preparing students for the future, it’s about empowering them to help shape it.

Read the latest blog by Middle School Social Studies Teacher, Karen Aleide, Understanding Civics for a Brighter Future, for ideas on how families can foster curiosity, respectful dialogue, and civic engagement at home.

Understanding civics is more important now than ever. Students who understand how our government works (and what “a government of the people” means) tend to be more engaged in their communities, aware of their rights, and involved in shaping our country toward a stronger future.

Social skills aren’t innate. They’re taught, practiced, and strengthened over time. In her latest blog, 2nd Grade Teacher Kim Woodring shares her classroom expertise on how intentional routines help students build communication, self-regulation, resilience, and empathy.

At BCD, we believe social-emotional skills are as vital as academics. Throughout the PS–8th journey, we integrate age-appropriate Social-Emotional Learning into our intentional curriculum and everyday experiences, guided by Second Step and Responsive Classroom. SEL isn’t an add-on at BCD. It’s woven into the fabric of daily life.

Children do not arrive in the world already knowing how to share, resolve conflicts, manage big emotions, advocate for themselves, or understand another person’s perspective. These are learned skills—ones that develop gradually through guidance, practice, and repeated experiences.

Finding the right school for your child is an important decision—especially when circumstances change. If you’re thinking about your child’s next school year, we invite you to get to know Boulder Country Day through the families who experience it every day.

Neighborhood Nights are events hosted by current BCD families in their own homes. These are casual gatherings where you can ask questions, hear firsthand perspectives, and learn what makes BCD feel like home to so many families.
No presentation. No pressure. Just a chance to connect, listen, and see if BCD might be a good fit for your family.

Come curious. Leave inspired.

To deepen their understanding of Colorado’s rich past, BCD 4th graders traveled to the Nederland Mining Museum! Students engaged in gold panning, identifying local rocks and minerals, and exploring historic mining machinery and safety protocols.

Our hands-on state unit is just getting started—in two weeks, the class will head to the start of the Colorado Trail. There, they'll meet local donkeys to learn the history and traditions behind Colorado’s unique state sport, b***o racing!
