JCS - Cedar Cove

Cedar Cove is a K-12 charter school tucked into the coastal hills of Encinitas, where the laid-back beach town vibe meets surprisingly rigorous academics — especially in science, where students score near the top of the state. Families who want a smaller, more intimate school community that follows kids all the way from kindergarten through graduation tend to find it a great fit, particularly those drawn to an independent learning philosophy. With Encinitas's mix of surfers, young families, and outdoor enthusiasts as your backdrop, this is the kind of place where a tight-knit school community feels like a natural extension of the neighborhood itself.
