Del Mar Hills Academy and the Del Mar Union School District are champions of educational excellence. At the heart of everything we do is one unwavering focus: our students, our North Star. We are genuinely student-centered, not just in words, but in every action and decision we make. Our relentless commitment is to what matters most: our children’s well-being, growth, and joyful learning experiences. It’s no surprise that our students often skip into school with smiles, eager for the meaningful and joyful moments that await them.

We recognize that we’re preparing students for a future that is constantly evolving, a world where many will hold jobs that don’t yet exist. To thrive, our children will need to think flexibly, collaborate meaningfully, and become creative problem finders and solvers. That’s why we are deeply committed to nurturing thinkers and active participants in the learning process.

 

At Del Mar Hills, we focus on cultivating a culture of thinking where students and staff continuously wonder, question, learn, and grow together. This culture is grounded in a strong academic core, high-quality instruction, and our Portrait of a Learner, all within a nurturing and engaging environment where every child can thrive.

 

We also believe that academic growth must be paired with social and emotional development. Through programs like Second Step and the No Place for Hate Initiative, we help students grow into empathetic individuals who care for one another and contribute to a positive, inclusive community.

 

Del Mar Hills Academy is a truly magical place to educate children. Together, we are creating a community where every child feels valued, heard, inspired, empowered to reach their full potential, and to love learning for a lifetime.
