Del Sur Elementary School opened in August of 2008. Our school is built on the notion of educating children for the world of the 21st century.
As a new school, we are beginning to build a culture of excellence. Our balanced and rigorous program provides instruction in all content areas including the arts and physical education. Learning opportunities foster curiosity and academic achievement through a standards-based curriculum that promotes inquiry and discovery. This will yield well-rounded, college ready students. On our campus every
classroom is affiliated with a university. The universities represented on our campus include - University of California, Berkley, University of California, Santa Barbara,University of California, Irvine, Boston University, University of Washington, Michigan, University of Southern California, UCSD, San Diego State, California State University, San Marcos, Cal Poly, Oregon, Ohio State, Hawaii, Harvard, Brown University, University of Pennsylvania, Kansas, and UCLA. Teachers and support staff are committed to educational excellence and work together in a cooperative, supportive, and professional manner. The school staff continually seeks new ways to provide sustained, effective, and quality instruction that meets the needs of all students. Del Sur is located 30 miles north of downtown San Diego in the community of Del Sur. Our student body consists of students from richly diverse cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. In ethnic terms, the greatest number of our students are Caucasian (45%). Our second highest number of students are Asian (16%). Eighteen percent of our students have limited English proficiency. Twenty-five percent of our students come from educationally disadvantaged homes. It is our mission to be a technologically progressive school dedicated to providing high levels of learning for all students while being focused on exploring the richness of the past, the opportunities of the present, and the infinite possibilities of the future.
