The Rhoades School

Looking for “the best private school near me?” You have come to the right place. At our elementary and middle school, we offer outstanding private school education from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our teachers offer a dynamic educational journey of discovery and exploration for academically advanced children in all of San Diego North County. Families from the Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain, Leucadia, La Costa, and Bressi Ranch areas love how we make learning fun and exciting. We are proud to be named a 2025 Grade A School by Niche, making us one of the top private schools in the Encinitas area.
