Not only do they have a fantastic academic curriculum, but caring teachers and staff, great communication, a phenomenal Principal (Principal York) to lead the way, and a very active parent PTA and family involvement. The school has great extra curriculars (both in school and after), like art, dance, chess club, science club, reading club, leadership, girls/boys circles, cooking club, Jr. health ambassadors, crossing guards and more. What drew me to the school was initially the amazing dual-immersion program, but what's kept us there is the enrichment and the community. All of this AND my kids are becoming fluent Spanish Speakers! Highly recommend.

We love that this school has a full time nurse, full time counselors, SAY San Diego is onsite, all kids are guaranteed PrimeTime after school program free of cost, the principal is exceptional.

Let me start by saying, this review is long overdue and our child is only in Pre-K!…read more The Evans School is more than a school, it's a family. At the core of this family is The Evan's School's "21 values." These 21 values serve as the foundation for the children's development. While most kids who attend a private school in La Jolla come from hard-working established families, the goal is aimed at developing the children into good-hearted and kind human beings.   Every morning starts with the pledge of allegiance and The Evans Pledge, " I promise myself today, to feel, to think, to speak and to act, only in accord with those things which are good and true and beautiful." How's that to start your day? ;) In a discussion with a group of well-educated parents whose children also attend Evan's, the question came up about investing in your child's development in earlier vs. later years. Everyone agreed that it's all about investing in the foundation of learning now in the younger years. This sets the stage for learning and gives them the tools they need to breeze through junior high school, high school and college if they choose to attend. Several Evans Alumni go on and attend prestigious colleges and many go straight to entrepreneurial endeavors or perhaps lives of service in the military. Regardless of what the student ends up doing later in life, the foundation for learning and The Evans values are engrained in each and every student so that they go on to become GOOD HUMANS.  If you're still reading and this resonates with you, then I suggest you set up a private tour of the school. That being said, I'm writing this during the COVID-19 pandemic and the kids are currently staying home. Unlike other schools, The Evans School immediately shifted gears and went to online learning leveraging Zoom and other software platforms so the kids could resume the much-needed structure and environment that they crave. I'm not going to lie, this was also much needed for our own sanity having at least one child attending school Monday - Friday.  I could not possibly give The Evans School a high enough rating. It's the type of place that creates raving fans and most importantly good humans. Alumni now send their children to the school. They continually honor grandparents and our military. It's not for everyone as it is more traditional in a world that seems to have abandoned more traditional values. I personally chose a path of service as a firefighter/paramedic and entrepreneur. My wife and I will continue to do whatever it takes to send our son to this amazing school because our priority is developing a strong foundation in learning while simultaneously instilling the values that create extraordinary humans.

However, our older son has been at TPMC since fall 2022 and I can't imagine any place better than this. My son loves going to school there and has developed close friendships with his classmates there. This is a major contrast to his previous daycare, which he did not enjoy at all. TPMC is a small school run by the same family for many years in a pretty location, only a few minutes from Torrey Pines beach. The class sizes are small, and it has a cozy, close-knit feel. The teachers genuinely care about each child, and give individual time to develop them. If I had to choose one word, it would be "balance". The environment is supportive and nurturing, yet has enough strictness to keep the classes structured and orderly. The kids have fun and have plenty of time to play, but this is balanced with a focus on learning and education, and time spent on math, reading, writing and art. Overall, we are very happy to have found this place for our older son, and now plan to enroll our younger son here soon. Of course, he has his own challenges but we are are very hopeful that our positive experiences with our older one will carry over to our youngest!

My daughter went here for two years, and I cannot say enough about how kind the teachers and staff were to her. It is a small school and my daughter was able to make friends with children of all grades. The teachers were very spiritual and imparted God's word in a way that my daughter had a deep understanding. She went through 3rd and 4th grade at this school. She made a personal commitment to Christ at the end of the school year, and I know the school's teaching and chapel played a large part in that. The after school ladies who provide day care are wonderful too and the price is affordable. As a working mom, I had peace of mind knowing a fair and loving team of ladies were watching over my child, giving her a hand with homework, and talking to her about her day as I was driving after work to pick her up. Do not hesitate to interview and check out this school. I highly recommend it!! Small class size is a plus, and Mrs Clark is a great principle who provides firm but loving leadership. The tuition is also very affordable.

She was very behind the other students at Diegueno, but the teachers were so patient with her, and even met with her before school each week to help her get caught up. When my daughter graduated from Diegueno she told me "Mom when I first went to Diegueno, I was the dumbest kid in the class, but now I am one of the smartest ones!" I am not saying that either of those statements that she made are necessarily true, but the amazing teachers at Diegueno helped my daughter, improve and grow, and now her confidence in her abilities are through the roof. She has since moved on to high school, but one thing that is interesting is that the kids from her current school who went to Diegueno for elementary school, are excelling at math and public speaking in particular. My daughter even won the award for being the best at Algebra at her new school, because Diegueno prepared her so well, and instilled a natural curiosity and love of learning in her. You will not find a better school than Diegueno Country School.

They all want to talk to me. They all want to tell me happenings of the day. Dcs is location reminds me of a treehouse and you will have to be okay with the classrooms being a bit smaller than other schools. But they make it work somehow. My kids are happy. I have seen academic leaps and bounds. I used to make sure the kids had two tutors. I have now stopped the tutoring and put my child's education into the care of the teachers. The kids are much more willing to try hard to finish homework without too much prying from me. Whatever system they have. It works. And it is working wonders. When you take a tour take a peek at what the kids are working on and you will have an idea of the academic excellence they strive for. Just book a tour.
