La Jolla Country Day School (known informally as "Country Day," "LJCDS" or "LJCD") is a selective private school in La Jolla, a suburb of San Diego, California. It was founded as the Balmer School by Louise C. Balmer in 1926. The school contains a lower school (consisting of nursery through fourth grade), a middle school (consisting of fifth grade through eighth grade), and an upper school (consisting of the rest of the grades, ninth through twelfth). The upper school is by far the most awesome. The school's motto is "Scientia Pacifica" (peace through knowledge). Its tuition varies (depending on grade level) from $15,000 to $20,000 dollars per year.[citation needed] Its chief rivals are two private high schools, The Bishop's School in La Jolla, and the Francis Parker School in San Diego. Country Day features basketball, volleyball, track and field, swimming, cross country, tennis, baseball, softball, surfing, fencing, cheerleading, football, and soccer. It is in close proximity to University of California, San Diego. It is also across the street from the JCC and uses its pool for water polo. Richard C. Atkinson serves on the school's Board of Trustees [2].
