The Child's Primary School555

After an exhaustive search of private schools in San Diego, we feel so fortunate to have found The Child's Primary School for our Kindergartener. The building itself isn't much to look at, but we ignored our first impressions and decided to give it a try anyway. As soon as we met the school staff, we knew that we had found the perfect school for our son.


Since joining the school, our son is thriving both academically and socially. The small class sizes have afforded him so many opportunities! He attends art and music classes, practices everything from tennis to tag during PE, visits the school library, and has 7 new best friends (his classmates). He is learning creative ways to solve conflicts with peers, how to take responsibility for his actions, and how to be part of a team/community. Maggie Price (the kindergarten teacher) is phenomenal! She does a wonderful job integrating the kids at the beginning of the school year, making students (and parents) feel at ease. The school really feels like a big family!

TCPS has far surpassed our academic expectations as well. It has been such a joy to watch our son's enthusiasm for learning as he reads us a bedtime story or pulls out our dusty globe to explain the geographical features of the continents. His teachers are constantly coming up with new and creative ways to spark his interest in learning. Their expertise and dedication to the children at the school is unlike anything we have ever seen!

My son has been with TCPS since Kindergarten and is now in the 5th grade. I wanted a place where he could develop in a kind and responsive social environment and not get lost in the crowd --- and this is what we've found at TCPS. Their cross-age activities prove to be very valuable to social development as well. The curriculum is advanced, but allows each child to work within their level without being left behind or lacking stimulation. The teachers and staff are outstanding and really prove to make the school a special experience.

The Child's Primary School is a wonderful place for children to grow academically and socially. The academic curriculum is rigorous and engaging. The social curriculum promotes integrity and compassion. All of this makes for an emotionally safe place for studnets to learn and grown and be challenged.

TCPS is truly where the child is primary. Each child is valued and nutured as an individual - academically, creatively and emotionally. This school is wonderful. It's where I wish I could have gone. Academically, the kids get a wide variety. Early on, kids change classrooms for science, math, music, Spanish, computers plus trips to one of the best school libraries around. They learn organization along with creativity and community responsibily. This is a one of a kind school.

Our son has been attending TCPS for the past three years (3rd grade). We did extensive research on private schools in San Diego and, thankfully, found TCPS. There are high academic standards but as importantly there is true caring about our child (and every child) that attends TCPS. Its a warm, wonderful, exciting place to learn. Our son looks forward to school, enjoys all his subjects, has learned responsibility, creativity,problem solving and how to be an asset to our world community. We cannot say enough about this gem of a school and the wonderful community of teachers, parents and staff that contribute to its greatness.
