The Academy by the Sea provides a unique boarding school learning environment that offers enrichment and credit courses. Our academic programs are structured and follow a disciplined schedule, yet they are enriching and full of recreational activities once class time is over.

We keep our class sizes small so that we may provide each student with the individual teacher attention they need (1:10 teacher to student ratio). Students receive class instruction in the mornings, and participate in recreational activities during the afternoons (so long as all class work has been completed). On the weekends Sea World, Magic Mountain, and Knott’s Berry Farm are only a few of the places they will enjoy.

Some of our enrichment courses are Media Production, Computer Journalism, ESL, Math, Oceanography, and Guitar. History, Math, and English are only a few of the subject we offer for credit (remediation only). For a complete list of course please visit our website. The credit program includes a proctored evening study hall is held Monday-Friday so that students will learn and develop study and time-management skills.

Come create endless summer memories at the Academy by the Sea/Camp Pacific this summer! For more information or to request a free brochure please call 760-434-7564, or visit our website.

These unique, overnight camps provide 6th-9th grade girls an opportunity to explore science, technology, and engineering while having fun on a college campus.

Science Majors allow girls to choose an area of focus during some activities at camp. Each major will include several small labs and a significant culminating project. This year, girls will choose from:
Astronomy (Water Rockets Project)
Marine Science (Creative Creatures Project)
Robotics (Robotics Challenge Project)

Enrichment Activities in the afternoons and evenings give girls an opportunity for informal science learning, as well as leadership and problem-solving training, through workshops, experiments, guest speakers, and recreational activities. Students will also attend a mid-program excursion to a local science venue.

8th and 9th Grade Girls will participate in an advanced 10-day program that will allow them extra time to explore our unique majors and activities.

SEACAMP San Diego's mission is to provide exciting, innovative, hands-on, and interactive marine education opportunities, to students across the country and around the world. SEACAMP San Diego offers three unique camp opportunities: SEACAMP I, SEACAMP II, and SEACAMP III. Each camp immerses students in the fascinating world of marine biology through interactive marine science classes and field experiences. SEACAMP instructors utilize on-site aquarium facilities to teach hands-on labs. The topics of SEACAMP I labs include intertidal invertebrates, fish adaptations, night adaptations, marine mammal, and shark ecology. Labs are then all followed with field activities including several snorkel excursions, kayaking, and boogie boarding.

At the our high school science research camps, students have a unique opportrunity to participate in wildlife or marine biology investigations usually available only to scientists at Universtiy of California research stations.
At our backpacking science camps, you will engage in hands-on science activities as you learn about rocks, astronomy, birds, insects, trees and flowers along with learning outdoor survival and backpacking skills.
