La Jolla Country Day School
A respected San Diego college-preparatory school where international students study alongside local classmates — with IEM coordinating placement, homestay, and support throughout.
Inspiring greatness for a better world
La Jolla Country Day School teaches students from early childhood through Grade 12, and welcomes IEM students in grades 9–12. The programme is academically demanding and deliberately broad — students are expected to think for themselves, contribute to the community around them, and leave prepared for university and for the world beyond it.
What makes this campus different
A hub for innovation
A Center for Excellence in Citizenship and a Design and Innovation Lab give students space to tackle real problems, prototype ideas, and build the kind of creative confidence universities look for.
More than academics
Athletics, arts, and service-learning sit alongside a demanding academic program, so students can follow what they love and grow into independent, capable young adults.
A community that knows you
A close-knit, inclusive campus where teachers and classmates learn your name quickly — an easier place to land when you're new to the country.
