About The Bishop’s School

Founded in 1909 and affiliated with the Episcopal Church, The Bishop’s School is an independent, all-gender college-preparatory day school for 800 students in grades six through twelve. The School is located on a historic campus in the heart of La Jolla, just 10 miles north of downtown San Diego.

Enrichment classes are engaging and interactive academic classes for elementary (4‑5th) and middle school‑aged (6‑8th) students.
