For 43 years, The Big Event has brought the �������� community together for one extraordinary Saturday morning. This year's theme — technological innovations through time — gave students the chance to explore AI, aerospace, medicine, agriculture, and more. Here's a look at how it all came together.

The Power of Small Classes: Providing teachers the ability to know each student and empower each child’s learning according to their strengths.
Our small class sizes allow teachers to learn and cultivate each student's learning style, strengths, and needs, while working with the whole class.

Knowing whether a child thrives with visual aids or prefers hands-on learning, needs movement to focus or learns best in quiet stillness, our teachers can respond in the moment to assist students to engage more deeply with the material, enhancing understanding at an individual level. We are focused not on passing the next test or assessment, but encouraging students to appreciate what they are learning and enjoy the process. This fuels a love of life-long learning.

Community, Culture, and Connection at ��������: As we celebrate the winter holidays and ring in the New Year, we’re reflecting on the traditions that make �������� such a special place to learn and grow. From our annual all-school Feast before Thanksgiving to holiday lessons, students and families sharing about their own traditions, Spirit Week, and a joyful Holiday Family Sing-Along, this season highlights how our small, independent K–8 school intentionally teaches kindness, cultural respect, and community. When students cook together, sing together, and learn about traditions from around the world, they’re doing more than celebrating holidays—they’re building empathy, connection, and belonging.

The �������� Middle School Advantage

Wondering what makes middle school at �������� different? This blog post breaks down several of the key elements that set our 6th-8th grade program apart from other schools: small class sizes that ensure every student is known, our unique looping model where students learn with the same teachers for all three years of middle school, and a progressive, hands-on approach that goes beyond rote memorization. You will learn how we prepare students for high school success—teaching them to advocate for themselves, collaborate with peers, and approach challenges with a growth mindset. We also share perspectives from alumni who tell us how �������� prepared them for their next chapter. Click the link to read more!

Kindergarten is a special place to learn at ��������, a private school in San Diego. At �������� classes are intentionally small so teachers can focus on making learning fun and nurturing each child so they experience learning in a supportive environment where children are seen as individuals, grow at their own potential, and learn to love school. RSVP for Kindergarten Exploration on Saturday, November 8th or schedule a parent tour to see for yourself how Kindergarten at �������� can be the right choice for your child.
