Pre-school through fourth graders are offered an after-school program (PM Program). This program runs Monday through Friday from dismissal to 5:30 p.m. Parents must sign-up for this program in advance to secure a space. The program is limited to twenty students, fifteen scheduled spots and five emergency spots. This is a multifunctional room by day and is the "home" of the students during after school hours. This program is unstructured, allowing students to do homework, play quiet games, draw, read or work on crafts projects. In the spring, third graders are invited to participate in an intramural soccer program. Students in grades five through eight, if not involved in sports, can go to BCD's supervised study hall. This program runs from dismissal until 5 pm., Monday through Friday. The atmosphere of this program is relaxed. Students are encouraged to complete homework assignments and then may play quiet games. In the Early Childhood and Lower School divisions, there are many special events/activities such as Alaska Day, Japan Day, Beach Day, a Mexican Fiesta, and Pajama Day. These are culminating events to units of study in the various grades.

On the Brook Farm campus, many co-curricular programs are offered for children in grades four through eight. These include a rigorous sports program, several drama productions, French lunches, outdoor education weekend activities, Robotics club, Community Service club, Student Council, music activities including lessons and choruses, Ski Fridays and dances. In addition, departments plan special activities and field trips to enrich their daily programs.

During winter and spring breaks, the Outdoor Program often offers ski trips, camping trips, and day hikes. For pre-school through the fourth grade, BCD's PM Program offers a vacation camp. This program plans craft activities, field trips and day themes for engaging fun. During the summer, BCD runs Summer @ BCD, a camp open to BCD families and the public for children ages 3 through 10. The sessions run weekly and are staffed by BCD faculty as well as other Berkshire County educators. This camp often has many BCD students working as counselors in training or as assistants to lead counselors.

The Secondary School offers various clubs and student activities that meet weekly. Clubs are monitored by faculty members and include film, technology, Spanish, community service, dance, a literary magazine, amateur radio and a student council. Student activities are coordinated through the Assistant Head and include workshops, guest speakers and musicians, field trips and sports-related activities.

The Early Childhood and Lower School students travel off campus on field trips arranged by their teachers. These daylong or partial day trips are arranged in order to enrich student learning and support the various units of study. Recent examples include trips to the Berkshire Museum, Normal Rockwell Museum, Audubon Center, American Indian Institute, Clearwater Sloop, Sturbridge Village, New York State Museum, Hancock Shaker Village, Mass MoCA, Clark Art Institute, New England Air Museum, and a local lumber company. Teachers and parents supervise the trips. Safety is an important concern. The chaperone to student ratios are excellent, often a 1:2 ratio in the Early Childhood division. Transportation for pre-school students is private cars with car seats. Starting in Kindergarten, a school bus is used for trips off campus. The teachers who run them evaluate the trips, typically funded by the school, after each experience. Middle School students travel off-campus on field trips arranged by teachers in order to enrich their in-class learning. Trips have been taken in the recent past to: Clark Art Institute, Sturbridge Village, Boston Aquarium, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, area Shakespeare and Classics Day festivals. The Middle School fifth and sixth grade students travel off-campus for a week in October. The fifth graders attend The Environmental Schools program in Ferry Beach, Maine. The sixth graders travel to Hulbert Outdoor School in Vermont. Seventh and eighth grade students also travel off-campus the week before Spring Break. The seventh graders go to Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C. to visit national and historical sights, the Holocaust Museum and several art museums. The eighth graders go to the Everglades National Park in Florida to begin their spring unit of study of environmental topics. The teachers who lead them evaluate the programs. Children.s safety, the value to student learning, and class bonding are the primary priorities.

The Secondary School offers language immersion programs as well as an exchange program in France. These programs are curriculum-based and speak directly to the Modern Foreign Language Department's mission to cultivate its oral-based curricula. All students are strongly encouraged to participate in these programs; the school views the programs as an integral part of its curriculum. Other field trips and student activities occur off-campus on a regular basis.
