Pacific Sky School, Del Mar Union School District’s newest school, opened in September of 2022 to serve approximately 350 kindergarten through sixth grade students. The school's design reflects environments conducive to what today's students need to thrive in the school setting. The school makes use of natural light and has ample opportunities for students to learn both indoors and in outdoor learning spaces. Whimsical elements, such as cozy nooks for reading, comfortable spaces for students to gather, and slides that take you from one level to another are all part of what students will experience inside and outside this wonderful school.

 

Pacific Sky welcomes a diverse community of learners with over 15 different home languages represented.  Our Kindergarten through third grade classrooms maintain a student to teacher ratio of approximately 22:1 while fourth through sixth grade maintain a 25:1 ratio this school year.  Through a commitment to social, emotional, and academic growth as well as a welcoming and inclusive school environment, Pacific Sky supports the development of the whole child.  Everyone’s strengths are nurtured and valued as a contributing member of our community.  Daily, students further develop critical thinking skills, curiosity, and strong written and oral communication expertise.  We are committed to providing an innovative, relevant, and joyful educational program for all our students. Through our Second Step social emotional curriculum, No Place for Hate activities, and lessons developed by our school counselor, students learn the social skills needed to make and maintain healthy relationships now and in the future.  Our goal is for each child to realize their full potential.
 
Through our STEAM+ Program, robust and engaging instruction for students in the arts, science, physical education, and interdisciplinary learning occur on a weekly basis.  Our credentialed STEAM+ teachers support our district's mission to educate the "whole" child by providing students with opportunities for hands-on activities, problem-solving, teamwork, and exposure to the arts and sciences beyond what is possible in the general education classroom.

 

We are particularly proud of our productive relationship with our dynamic and involved parental community. So many great aspects of our school rely on the continued support of parents. There is no doubt that Pacific Sky is thriving because of parental commitment and involvement. A school is as strong as the partnerships between its community of parents, staff, and students.  Pacific Sky is living proof of this!
