Our Community

When parents, faculty, and alumni are asked what they most value about Belmont Day School, the invariable response, often swift and emphatic, is "the strong sense of community." When they define what they mean by this phrase, they include the following examples:
the deep appreciation of children at all stages of development
the shared goal of excellence in all educational matters
the commitment to celebrate, support, and increase diversity in our community
the centrality of our six shared values
the nurturing relationships
the focus on teamwork over competition
This strong sense of community exists in the midst of thoughtful planning by faculty and staff, parents and board members, who strive for a predictable and supportive environment for students and adults. We give care to each and every decision we make so that relationships can flourish and joyful learning can abound.
