The ability to communicate well both verbally and in writing is one of the most important gifts offered by Del Mar Pines School. All students are positioned in small (five to eight children), developmentally-appropriate groups where they receive up to 10 hours of language arts instruction each week.

Beginning with the fundamentals of language and visual/motor development, phonemic awareness, and sound-symbol association, students continually develop a wealth of indispensable skills as they move through their elementary school years. Lower grade lessons in reading, grammar and oral language proficiency naturally lead to comprehensive studies of analytical writing, creative composition and public speaking.

Del Mar Pines places considerable emphasis on areas such as literature appreciation, creative voice and structured analysis, as well as the critical requisites of mind-mapping, outlining and gathering research from a variety of credible sources.
