The Winston School of San Diego is a private, coeducational, college preparatory day school at 215 9th St, Del Mar, CA 92014, serving students in grades 5 through 12 with learning differences. Founded in 1988 by a group of pediatricians led by Dr. John Richards and a coalition of San Diego-area parents, Winston was created for bright, creative children whose needs were not being met in traditional school settings. The school maintains one of the lowest student-to-teacher ratios in San Diego County at approximately 5 to 1, with all teachers holding master's degrees in special education and all administrators specializing in learning differences. Winston offers a strength-based, multi-sensory teaching approach with optional onsite counseling, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to support both academic progress and social-emotional development. The campus sits on a hillside with ocean views, open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3:30 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM to 12:30 PM. More than 95 percent of Winston graduates earn a high school diploma, with 70 percent entering four-year or two-year college programs — and all students who apply to a four-year college are admitted to at least one institution. Tuition is approximately $35,800 for the regular school year. The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and holds membership in the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the California Association of Private Special Education Schools (CAPSES). Families exploring youth-serving organizations nearby will find the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego | Del Mar Clubhouse offering after-school programs for young people in the area. Winston's 9th Street location is steps from the heart of Del Mar's village, where Del Mar Community Connections provides complementary social and educational services from the same block.
