Carmel Valley Schools

Carmel Valley, which is served by the Del Mar Union School District for K-6, and the San Dieguito Union High School District for middle school and high school is one of the best funded and most financially supported educational communities in California, with many award-winning schools and teachers among the eleven elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools—Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest High School—that provide a complete preparatory education for children and teens. Local parents and organizations, as well as the city itself, consider education of paramount importance in attracting families and young people to the area and keeping them. There are also many private educational institutions in the area as well as extension class opportunities for adults.
