What Makes The Cambridge School a Top School in San Diego?

Just like leaders have unique personalities, schools have distinctive cultures. But the distinguishing factor for leaders and schools is how they answer life’s fundamental questions. Here’s how The Cambridge School answers the above questions:

Philosophy of education – Every school has a philosophy of education, but not all can articulate it well. The Cambridge School is founded on a model of education that is distinctively classical and distinctively Christian. These twin principles are like jet engines that create a powerful environment where great leaders are bred.

Goals – Our faculty and administration have a unique vision as they train a new generation of leaders for our communities, churches and world. True leaders are not only technical specialists in a given field, but have become humane generalists. A great education produces students who have mastered the tools of learning so they can navigate all the learning challenges life presents. This kind of long-term thinking sets The Cambridge School among the top schools in San Diego.

Faculty – Our greatest asset is our teachers whom we lovingly call our living curriculum. All our elementary teachers have at least a Masters degree and have committed themselves to mastering the classical Christian model while caring for their students. We’re privileged to have attracted such a high-caliber faculty and are committed to developing and attracting a growing, professional staff.

Distinctives – The Cambridge School is committed to maintaining small class sizes (max is normally 18 students), delivering a dynamic curriculum, and finding the best faculty available. And though we spend little time preparing for standardized tests, most of our students perform exceptionally well—scoring in the mid-to-upper 90th percentiles.
