The school is sectioned into four divisions:
- Early Childhood
Early Childhood includes the Pre-Kindergarten (B3s, B4s) and Kindergarten. Their main classrooms are located in Albright Building, whose upper floor also serves as the Administrative Offices.
- Lower School
The lower school includes grades 1, 2, and 3 and is based in Oakes Building, which also includes the school's Technology Classroom. They also have classes in Furey Hall, Piaseckis, Fitzpatrick, Albright, Peterson, and Sesl.
- Middle School
Grades 4, 5, and 6 constitute the Middle School of BCD. The Middle School grades' homerooms are located in Peterson, thought they use most of the same classrooms as the Upper School-ers, alternating between Peterson, Ryan, and Piaseckis for their academic classes and Fitzpatrick, Oakes, Clemens, Albright, and Furey Hall for arts and technology classes.
- Upper School
BCD's Upper School consists of its 7th and 8th graders as well as its Senior class, the 9th grade. These three grades have their homerooms in Ryan as well as some of their classes, but they also have classes in Furey Hall, Peterson, Piaseckis, Oakes, and Clemens.

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or structure:
“That crazed girl improvising her music,
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling she knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
Her knee-cap broken.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
