What Makes Del Mar Pines School Special?
Since 1978, Del Mar Pines has nurtured all aspects of our students' academic, social, emotional, and physical needs. Recognized for a low student-to-teacher ratio, with two teachers in every classroom, our robust curriculum is enhanced by weekly ancillary classes in music, art, Spanish, hands-on science, PE, technology, and library. DMP students benefit from strong academics with small group instruction. Del Mar Pines School provides our students with a safe and caring atmosphere that emphasizes character development.
Parent Testimonials
Del Mar Pines is an amazing place for our daughter. She started kindergarten in Sept 2020 when most other schools were remote only. Mrs. McCord and the entire team ensured a safe and productive learning environment and allowed students to be in person. Since then, she has done well socially and has been challenged academically as she has moved up in the school. The environment is positive and fosters mentorship between younger and older students. Has been a great school for our family and look forward to our son starting kindergarten this fall.

Because it is small(1 class per grade, 20 students per class), young kids have a lot of attention they need. Teachers are nice and patient and rich in experience. This year is tough due to the Covid19, but DMP acted very fast. They got on-line classes ready in the first week of closure! And did I mention they were daily zoom meeting classes that only 5-8 kids each time slot? They divided kids to small groups according to their academy levels, that means teachers work are doubled. Yet the teachers are working tirelessly to make kids feel like in school. The public school in my neighborhood is not bad, but I don’t regret to send my kid to this private school. Worth every penny I spent!
