Our Curriculum
Del Mar Pines' curriculum offers students an essential scholastic foundation that allows them to maximize their academic promise. Every kindergarten through sixth grade student enjoys a core syllabus of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, complemented by extensive programs of music, fine arts, Spanish language, computer science, library and physical education.
Factual information is taught from a variety of perspectives, to accommodate differing learning styles. Special emphasis is placed on speculation, hypothesis, research, experimentation and the attribution and documentation of results, as well as development of excellent organizational skills and study habits. And field trips, classroom productions and school-wide events present opportunities for students to discover and create both as individuals and members of a group.
Academics are regularly augmented by scheduled programs that reinforce the ethical, humanitarian and philanthropic qualities necessary for good citizenship. At Del Mar Pines, children learn to be good people, not just good students.
