Christ Church Day School is a small private school located in Coronado, CA.
Our mission is to engage students to reason, create, serve and lead in a nurturing, Episcopal learning community.
We believe students should become lifelong learners and therefore encourage natural curiosity, teach foundational skills, and promote an understanding of the relationship between the arts, science, and humanities to stimulate learning.
We offer a rich and robust curriculum that includes Music, Art, Physical Education, and Spanish.
We also believe students should acquire a strong foundation of Christian ethics and therefore honor the dignity and worth of all people, encourage awareness and concern for local and global communities, and provide an environment which teaches and models God's love and grace.
We serve students in Junior Kindergarten through 8th Grade with an average class size of 14-16 students.

School Notes

- School Mascot: Dolphin
- Eager-faced children, proud of their efforts and accomplishments, are what we desire for each child's educational experience at CCDS. The faculty and staff of Christ Church Day School ground teaching and learning practices on love and respect for each individual child. Whether laughing at their state-of-matter concoctions of "soliquid," creating wonderful works of art, or learning about number bonds and equations in math, teachers engage the children in activities that provide opportunities to reason and reflect, build self-discipline, and encourage lifelong learning.Striving for academic excellence, we follow research-based, best practices in curriculum and instruction. Literacy skills are developed through whole group direct instruction, small group guided instruction, and independent exploration with emphasis on mastery of skills and English language development.To support the development of mathematical skills and contents, weuse theSingapore Mathapproach and materials. We also have adopted the Next Generation Science standards which raise the bar on what is considered to be outstanding instruction in the sciences, and we have implemented the Mystery Science curriculum to align with the Next Generation Science Standards.Art, Music, PE, Spanish, and Spiritual Nurture speciality classes expand and enrich the daily classroom curriculum and support the holistic development of CCDS students. The complete CCDS program is used as a means to excite students about learning and to encourage each child to become a life-long learner.Underlying everything we do at Christ Church Day School is an education based on values that reflect God's love for each of us, academic excellence, service learning, inclusiveness, and an appreciation for diversity. Within this context, we strive to educate ourselves and our students in mind and heart.

School Reviews
5 8/12/2018
Christ Church has been such a blessing to our family. We initially chose the school for the small class size, but have been completely impressed with teachers' dedication to their students. We love that Spanish, spiritual nurturing, and public speaking are started in Junior Kindergarten and continued through sixth grade. The school is a close knit community and the parents are very involved. Student to teacher ratio is the best in the town.
