The Child's Primary School
The Child’s Primary School in San Diego is a warm, student-centered K-8 private school where the interests of the child are primary, just as its founders envisioned in 1983. TCPS balances academic excellence with social-emotional growth and happiness in school, helping each child develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. Teachers know students as individuals and guide them in critical thinking, leadership, and interpersonal skills through an inclusive, interactive curriculum. The school’s mission is to inspire lifelong learners and creative problem-solvers in a nurturing community that respects and celebrates every child’s unique strengths.
