So what’s the scoop on Private Schools in San Diego?
We frequently receive requests for San Diego, La Jolla, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Poway, Escondido, and El Cajon private school information. The list below contains both independent, church and Catholic private schools in San Diego County. Much of the information was originally collected and published by the San Diego Business Journal, who publish an enrollment-ranked report of San Diego’s private schools. Some of the schools we list may not be on that report, because they are too small or failed to return SDBJ’s annual survey.
School annual tuition listed as a range may reflect membership in the school’s affiliated parish or the number of students from a family enrolled in the school.
This alphabetized list is a work-in-progress. If we have missed a school, please let us know!
