Admission
- An intentional choice
  
  Aspen Country Day School brings the ethos of mountain life into an education that rivals what you’ll find at the top schools in big cities. Whether you are considering a move to the Roaring Fork Valley or have already made a home here, we’d love to meet you, welcome you to our beautiful campus, and show you what makes Aspen Country Day School outstanding.
Academics + Arts + Outdoors
- The power of three
  
  Academics. Arts. Outdoors. Each of our programs is strong on its own, but the true value of an Aspen Country Day School education lies in the synergy of the three. The families that founded our school in 1969 drew inspiration from the Aspen Idea — the philosophy that true balance comes from cultivating mind, body, and spirit in a place of natural beauty and inspiration.
People of Country Day
- An intentional community
  
  The strength of any school comes from its people: the teachers, leaders, parents, and alumni who are committed to a shared purpose. Meet the adults who challenge and nurture Aspen Country Day School children to build confidence, resilience, and joy in learning.
School experience
- A sense of place
  
  At Aspen Country Day School, children grow up immersed in a remarkable landscape that feeds the growing soul. Year after year, they become steadily more prepared for the next steps in their journey. Soon they are ready and eager for lives of meaning and purpose.
