Elementary School
Teaching students how to learn in a supportive and challenging success-oriented program.
The Childβs Primary School (TCPS) was founded in 1983, based on the principles of value and respect for the individual uniqueness of each child. At TCPS, we believe learning is best promoted in a supportive environment which includes family, school, and those who influence the life of the child.
In the lower grades, we strive to build upon a childβs natural curiosity and love for learning. In order to maximize oneβs education, students need to be engaged, interested, and excited to learn. Our small school, small class sizes, and philosophy promote this type of environment.
Why Choose our Private Elementary School?
TCPS is a unique educational community where the wonder and joy in learning are treasured. With our small class sizes, your child will feel known and cared for.
In addition to offering a comprehensive curriculum, our private elementary school in San Diego guides students in understanding the importance of responsibility, accountability, balance, respect, and persistence as keys for success throughout life.
