The Grauer School experience has heightened the learning potential of both students by providing a low student-to-teacher ratio and individualized attention to their extracurricular interests. Kalina Quinn commented, “I enrolled at The Grauer School after a stressful experience at another school that created unreasonable pressure on me to excel at extracurricular activities; my creative interests were embraced at The Grauer School and I was encouraged by my teachers to pursue my passions in a non-threatening environment. This translated into a harmonious atmosphere that inspired me to achieve academic excellence.” Outside of her academic studies, Kalina is a member of The Grauer School Surf Team, and is a laboratory research intern at the Salk Institute in La Jolla where she pursues her passion for marine biology. This summer she will be volunteering as a camp counselor at Camp Stevens in Julian. According to fellow high school student Alex Espinosa, The Grauer School teachers have inspired him to learn and branch out into new activities. "My drama teacher Erin Langen inspired me to get involved in drama for the first time. All of The Grauer School teachers in my classes have motivated me to become engaged in learning and excel. In addition, I participated in the recording and launch of the first Grauer School record label CD. I play a variety of musical instruments including, drums, bass guitar, banjo and the didgeridoo. This summer I’m looking forward to attending the NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) backpacking trip in the Pacific Northwest.” The Grauer School, founded in 1991, is a grades 6-12 private, college preparatory school located in Encinitas, California. The school is accredited by WASC and CAIS, and serves as a successful educational model for hundreds of private schools around the world through the Coalition of Small Preparatory Schools (CSPS), established by Dr. Stuart Grauer in 2011.
