At Sanderling, we believe in fostering a lifelong love of learning in each child. We recognize each individual as a unique expression of body, soul and spirit, and we seek to engage the whole child through a developmentally appropriate curriculum that addresses the physical, emotional, and intellectual aspects of a child.
While Sanderling is one of the leading private schools in all of North County San Diego, our unique 'Access To All tuition model enables anyone to attend regardless of their ability to pay. We offer programs for children from 16 months to 8th grade. While we are currently based on two beautiful campuses in North County, we are also in the process of planning out our forever campus in Encinitas.
