A Leading Christian Private School in San Diego
An education is the only gift you can give your child that cannot be taken away. You want that education to be the best one you can afford. Among San Diego private schools, The Cambridge School seeks to deliver a highly valued education that trains a new generation of leaders.
Not all private schools are created equal
As you search for a San Diego private school, you’ve probably discovered that not all private schools are created equal and often times they experience “mission drift”—a slow veering away from an organization’s founding vision and mission. Because this is true, we’d like to suggest a few questions to ask as you evaluate San Diego County private schools:
- What is their philosophy of education? Does this fit my vision of education? How consistently is their model applied in the classroom?
- What are their goals for my child and his or her education?
- Who are the teachers and administrators? Why do they work for this school and what are their desires for their students?
- Among San Diego private schools, how does this school compare when it comes to class sizes, caliber of faculty and staff members, consistent application of model in the classroom and results?
Why is The Cambridge School a unique San Diego private school?
We believe the way we answer the above questions gives a glimpse into why we offer a unique educational value:
- Philosophy of education – Every school has an educational philosophy, but most cannot articulate it very clearly. In contrast, The Cambridge School is founded on the classical Christian model of education that is distinctly classical and distinctly Christian. This time-tested educational model has produced some of history’s greatest leaders, scientists, artists and educators.
- Goals – We are less concerned with producing technical specialists and more concerned with cultivating humane generalists who can make a difference in their church and society. This vision makes us unique among San Diego private schools.
- Faculty – Having a fantastic model of education without qualified teachers is like having a beautiful new jet plane without a pilot to fly it for you. The Cambridge School proudly invests in our highly-trained faculty (all elementary teachers have at least a masters degree) so that they can become our “living curriculum” who embody the classical Christian educational philosophy. See if you can find another San Diego private school who has multiple PhDs teaching in their elementary school!
- Distinctives – We are committed to keeping small class sizes, cultivating outstanding faculty, and delivering a thoughtful, well-integrated curriculum. And while we spend no time preparing for standardized tests, most of our students perform exceptionally well—scoring in the mid-to-upper 90th percentiles during the last three years.
