​Del Mar

Our Del Mar nature classrooms are nestled beneath towering Eucalyptus trees with access to winding trails, towering trees, and wide-open spaces, it’s the perfect setting for student to explore, play, and grow. Students are able to observe various landscapes filled with native edible plants, bugs and insects. 
 

In this natural space our students follow their interests, dig into hands-on activities, and discover the world around them at their own pace. It’s amazing to see how their curiosity blooms in this vibrant setting—whether they’re spotting wildlife, sitting for a shared reading exercise, or just marveling at the beauty around them.
 

We keep our teacher-to-student ratio at 1:6 so every child gets the care and attention they need. Safety is always a top priority, so parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are free to explore, learn, and thrive. In our classrooms students are not just gaining foundational literacy and numeracy skills—they’re building connections, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
