What We Offer

Dual Language and Global Awareness

The earlier our explorers learn a new language the better they are at adapting to and achieving in an ever-changing world.

Rigorous Curriculum

Our curriculum is rigorous and we have a longer school day. By the end of middle school at Kavod, our explorers are more prepared for higher education, making room for more subject exploration and mastering.

Middle School IB

IB World Schools and Kavod share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. Kavod’s middle school IB program is one of only four IB schools in San Diego.

Our Values

LanguageS

Modern Hebrew and Spanish. Learning a language that is not based in the same letter-alphabet and reads right to left enhances cognitive development. Bilingual students tend to be more advanced and open to more opportunities in work, social life and school.

Global Awareness

As part of our language program at Kavod, students of all grades learn about holidays and traditions from around the world, participate in cultural fairs, and enjoy visits from bilingual guest speakers who share real-life career stories.

Service-Based Learning

Service-based learning means students learn by volunteering and helping others. It allows students to interact with their communities as they learn different aspects of a variety of cultures.

Academic Excellence

Middle school students can earn high school credit. Our middle school IB program challenges Kavod students in nine subjects and gets them prepared for high school.

Dedicated Staff

We provide a student-centered learning environment, helping every student meet his or her full academic potential. Kavod hires teachers who have a demonstrated commitment and talent to this teaching philosophy.

Enrichments and Electives

Kavod’s enrichment program offers a balance of physical activity, music and the arts which teaches students new and fun ways to learn and be successful.

Students choose from a variety of enrichment and elective classes – depending on grade. Sample courses include: Coding, Entrepreneurship, Theater, Art, Yoga, Music, Social Justice, Debate, Gardening, Photography, Student Council, and more.
