Ocean Air gives any private school in San Diego tremendous competition. My kids have had awesome teachers including, but not limited to, Sandi Jackson, Mrs. Kantner, Ms. Hemingway, Mrs. Carrel, Ms. Jones, Mrs. Kufahl,Mrs Cole and Ms. Lowery. I am effusive in my praise of Ocean Air. Consider yourself very lucky if youre able to send your kids to this first class school!

We had to move from Orange County to San Diego in middle of my daughter's first grade. We are very grateful to the School staff, her teacher, Mrs. Tech, and her classmates who did a wonderful job helping my daughter's transition. Superior curriculum and program to all public schools we have come to know about or researched both in Orange county and San Diego.

Children are nice to each other and they reward them with positive reinforcement. Children appear to take their peace builder pledge seriously.

Two of my kids go to this school and we are very happy with the school. Teachers are fantastic and there are many different programs and options available for the children through various clubs and electives (in higher grades). We have been at this school only for two years, but I see a huge difference in my kids' academic growth.
