A Word From Our Principal
Del Mar Pines is looking forward to welcoming all of our students on campus for full-time, in-person learning for the 2021/2022 school year following all of the CDPH School Safety measures.
I feel we are very fortunate to be in such a supportive community and while some things are different, many remain the same. Our children still learn to apply critical thinking and problem-solving strategies to all aspects of their lives. We continue to focus on scholastic development, personal growth, and ethical enrichment so every student is given the opportunity to meet his or her full academic potential, while developing the qualities essential for positive personal development.
