Encinitas Country Day School (ECDS), founded in 1980 by Kathleen Porterfield[1], is a college-preparatory elementary and middle school located in Encinitas, California. The school emphasizes holistic education and community involvement. ECDS operates two campuses: one for preschool and another for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Encinitas Country Day School is an ACS WASC accredited school.[3][4]

Academics

[edit]

ECDS employs a modern approach using a curriculum alligned to State Standards: Montessori instructional methods, traditional, and state-standard methods (Common Core, NGSS, and adopted standards)[5][4]. This educational approach aims to foster not only academic growth but also social, emotional, and physical development.

Athletics

[edit]

Encinitas Country Day School is a member of the Independent Middle School League, along with four other schools in the area. ECDS features both boys' and girls' teams in various physical programs during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.[6] The school emphasizes learning sport skills and loving physical activity, and not teaching students to be too competitive.
