Every child is born with an innate desire to learn. Curiosity, the desire to learn and create, is instinctive to every person. It is these drives that should be encouraged every day at school.

Very smart children often don’t succeed in school because they are bored, feel disconnected from their teachers or peers, or their hands can’t move as quickly as their thoughts. Perhaps they get distracted in large classrooms. At Balboa City School our small structured classes and emphasis on very high response rates insures that each child is challenged but not overwhelmed. Our curriculum is based on the California Framework and our school culture and highly qualified staff provides a welcoming structure for students.

Communication is a key component of what we do. By creating an effective framework for communication between student, parent, teacher and staff, we can help children attain their goals and regain their joy of learning. Usually we see a positive attitude shift toward school almost immediately.

Balboa City School is a fully accredited, K-12, college preparatory private school located on the western edge of Balboa Park, near downtown San Diego.
