About Del Mar Pines School

To help meet our mission we provide a low teacher-to-student ratio with two teachers in each classroom. This design prevents disruptions, allows for more quality instruction time, generates better results and can accelerate learning time. Smaller class sizes also help build stronger relationships with teachers and classmates.

Our smaller class sizes and innovative small group instruction, in language arts and math, provides DMP students with more personalized attention from their teachers and ensures a stress-free, yet challenging learning experience.

Behind our small class size structure, we have an excellent team of highly qualified teachers and staff who work hard to inspire an inquisitive spirit, build close relationships and promote critical thinking, so each student can reach their full potential— both personally and academically.

DMP teachers nurture the opportunity for intellectual and creative expression while preparing their students for life long success. We place a strong emphasis on character development as well as key foundational skills such as organization, study habits, and public speaking. Our teachers are caring, kind, and build confidence in their students.

While our focus is on character development and our four core academic subjects of: mathematics, language arts, science and social studies, Del Mar Pines School offers its students much more.  We also provide weekly instruction in P.E, visual art, music, hands-on-science, Spanish, Library, technology and wellness for upper-grade students. These classes are aligned with the curriculum, support the whole child learning approach and make learning fun.
