La Jolla Country Day School

The La Jolla Country Day School (known informally as "Country Day," "LJCDS" or "LJCD") is a highly 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 schools motto is "Scientia Pacifica" (peace through knowledge). Its main rival is another private high school in La Jolla, The Bishop's School.

Torrey Review

The La Jolla Country Day School funds the student-run and student-founded political paper known as the Torrey Review, a name derived from the schools mascot, the Torrey Pine, and the conservative paper, the National Review. Despite the name, the paper's writers represent a variety of political perspectives, as several liberals, Greens, and Objectivists as well as conservatives comprise the paper's staff.
