You’re looking for classical Christian schools in San Diego. You want the best for your child’s education. We’re glad you found The Cambridge School and would like to introduce you to our new and growing school. But first, are all classical schools the same?

Four Tips for Assessing Classical Christian Schools in San Diego

We’re all wary of false marketing claims—even among Christian schools. As you evaluate your options, please consider the following key questions:

• What is the school’s philosophy of education? How consistently is it applied through all subject matters? Does this vision align with my personal beliefs?
• What are their goals for my child and his or her education?
• Who are the teachers and administrators? Where did they go to school? What drives their success in the classroom?
• As a classical school in San Diego, how does this school compare when it comes to class size, caliber of faculty and staff members, consistent application of model in the classroom and results?

So what’s so unique about The Cambridge School?

If you’re looking at classical Christian schools in San Diego, you may be familiar with the powerful combination of academic rigor and spiritual formation this educational model provides. We’re convinced that the revival of the classical Christian model gives hope for training a new generation of Christian leaders—people who will influence their churches, communities and world.

Here’s why The Cambridge School is a leading example of a classical Christian school in San Diego:

• Philosophy of education – In San Diego, The Cambridge School is setting the standard for how faith integrates all areas of study and life. Our model marries the best of historic classical education principles with a robust spiritual formation process that produces students who love learning and love God. At The Cambridge School, all of our teachers work diligently to integrate a Christian worldview into their curriculum so that faith is not treated as a subject matter to be studied once a week, but instead permeates every conversation throughout the day.
• Goals – Our faculty and administration constantly pursue a vision for our students that includes cultivating a lifelong love for learning, developing the skills of winsome communication and effective leadership, and nurturing a deepening faith in the living God of the Bible. In our Portrait of the Graduate we outline our vision for graduating high school seniors. Everything we do in the classroom and school is tailored to see our students become these kinds of virtuous scholars.
• Faculty – Not many classical Christian schools in San Diego can boast the pedigree and commitment of our teachers and staff. All of our elementary teachers have at least a Masters degree and some of them have earned Phd’s. But even more impressive is the enduring love and devotion our teachers show toward their students.  Our teachers they hurt when their students struggle, they delight in their student’s success and they labor to draw out each student’s God-given potential.
• Distinctives – With shrinking budgets causing many public and private schools to increase class sizes, The Cambridge School is committed to keeping class sizes to an ideal maximum of 18 students per class. Additionally, most schools are governed by a dominant focus on test scores and preparation. The Cambridge spends very little time preparing for standardized tests (we’re too busy teaching Mandarin, Latin, Science, Singapore Math, Art and Music!). Yet, most of our students consistently score in the mid-to-upper 90th percentile. This is what happens when you prioritize learning over test preparation.
