Elementary School
Teaching students how to learn in a supportive and challenging success-oriented program.
The Child’s 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 child’s natural curiosity and love for learning. In order to maximize one’s 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.

Community Outreach & Cross-Age Learning
TCPS students develop a spirit of philanthropy through participation in community outreach projects designed to benefit our local and global communities.
We incorporate cross-age learning so students can work on stimulating and challenging projects with students of other ages. This strengthens feelings of belonging for all, while building friendships and our small-school community.
