Day Prep is a private, independent, non-religious, college preparatory, experiential learning, project-based JK – 12th grade private school. It is our mission to empower our students to identify and use their signature skills to create a life marked by integrity, self-awareness, flow, meaning, service, and purpose.

Core vision and purpose of the school:

–We have created a schooling opportunity that strengths and builds the family.

–Our program relieves parents of the societal pressure to wake up each morning with layers of stress to rush out the door and head in separate directions—parents to work, kids to school.

–We believe it’s not normal for children to spend the majority of their waking hours with strangers being shaped by values and ideas that don’t align with their families.

–We believe it is not good for anyone to work tirelessly, day after day until age 65 so that one can retire too late to fully enjoy the life that so much was sacrificed for.

–We believe this way of living has pushed us into lives of disconnection.

–We believe parents are too exhausted from work to spend meaningful time with their children.

–We believe parents often relieve the pain and pressure this typical life produces with screens, substances, and other activities that further separate them from one another and their children.

–We believe children are growing up without the guidance and influence of their own families, and are being shaped instead by schools that, although designed to teach us how to think, systematically teach children how to not think.

–We see how families are reduced to fleeting moments of togetherness, squeezed into evenings and weekends, if at all.

–We believe this is not how we are meant to live. Families are the foundation of a thriving life.

–Families are meant to work together, eat together, solve problems together, make messes together, clean them up together, walk together, talk together, cry together, learn together, and grow together.

–We know 93% of all the time a parent will spend with their children–in their lifetimes–occurs before the age of 18.

–We know strong families create strong communities and strong communities can generate the energy, problem-solving skills, and solutions needed in our ever-evolving world.

Day Prep helps families create and live the vision they have for their family by efficiently and effectively providing the essential 21st-century academic, life, and relational intelligence skills for their children through our WASC-accredited curriculum so families can live full and active lives together.

Therefore: We believe children learn when they come confidently and eagerly to learning. We believe we teach ourselves everything we learn, so teachers become optimal facilitators of learning through inspiration, a magnetic nature, compassion, and use of our exceptional best practices.

Our core values are integrity, communication, self-awareness, flow, conscientiousness, compassion, resiliency, cooperation, purpose, and connection.

Education is a profession based on science. So you can leave it to us. We want families to enjoy their time together, not to have to manage schooling or unnecessary homework. Mostly we believe in setting children and families up for success, removing barriers with adaptable teaching, project-based learning, and engaging instruction led by exceptional teachers. Enjoy a program that removes political agenda, medical restrictions, and non-school related education from your child’s schooling experience. This is education, your way.

” . . .what we found is a program, an educational leader, and a community that would not only preserve the magic of education in uncertain times, but a curriculum and education style that is revolutionary.”

~Parents with two enrolled children, La Jolla, CA

“After a review of [our daughter’s] natural skills and knowledge, a tailored program was created and so professionally delivered . . . I watched my child blossom into a confident, less anxious child. Now she is at the top of her class—a status which, for my husband and me, is not important. However, her social/emotional acumen is also soaring.”

~Megan, San Diego, CA

“Cara Day is a practical genius at teaching not only parents, but students and her fellow practitioners. She has revolutionary, yet proven methods that transform lives. Her parenting philosophy and methods are in-depth, yet practical, tangible, and immediately usable. A breath of fresh air.”

~Member of the San Diego Unified School Board
