About The Grauer School
Dr. Stuart Grauer founded The Grauer School in 1991, and over the years we grew from a borrowed storefront to the six-acre campus we now occupy in Encinitas. We are an independent college preparatory school for about 160 students in grades 7 to 12, with a 7:1 student to teacher ratio, roughly 140 courses and Socratic, Harkness-style discussion classes.
Half of our campus holds the quad, sports areas, gardens and an orchard. The other half is a native wildlife corridor of coastal sage and maritime chaparral with marked trails, a minute from our partner, the San Elijo Lagoon. The campus earned LEED Gold certification in 2016. Every student spends at least a week each semester on a regional or global expedition.
Our courses meet University of California a-g requirements and NCAA criteria, and we are accredited by WASC. Students who need more structure can choose one-on-one Educational Mentoring during free periods, a daily homework check in the Learning Lab, a supervised after-school homework program, half-size Socratic Seminar classes of three to six students, and one-on-one classes. Tuition covers academics, athletics, arts, most field trips and college counseling.
