Our daughter's transition to first grade at Loudoun Country Day School (LCDS) followed four successful years in a Montessori School. An avid reader with a passion for learning, we searched for a school that would nurture her social and educational development and treat her as an individual learner.
... Read more To say we have been pleased would be a gross understatement. Every aspect of education at LCDS is planned for by educators who clearly have a love for teaching.

This is our 5th year at LCDS, every year we question why we keep sending our only son to LCDS, and we discuss that it is time to leap to the public schools...every year we come back to LCDS. The school is not without its share of challenges. And there are some challenges that will remain, however, what

I am a parent of a 1st & 4th grader and have been with the school since 2004. Even with its growth, LCDS has maintained its small community feel.
