The Cardiff Elementary School District proudly serves the vibrant coastal community of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, nestled within the picturesque landscape of northern San Diego County, California. Our district's footprint extends across this charming seaside town, providing educational foundations for families residing in areas directly adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, bordered by the communities of Encinitas to the north and Solana Beach to the south. This unique geographical positioning ensures our students grow up immersed in a rich environment where the rhythm of the ocean shapes daily life, and local landmarks like the Cardiff Kook statue and Swami's Beach are part of the local fabric.
