SCHOOL LOCATIONS

Living in San Diego entails a variety of experiences you just won't find anyplace else. Take a stroll along the Pacific Ocean and watch the sun set. Or camp in the desert for the weekend.

How does hiking and skiing in the mountains sound, to get above it all? Or why not travel south of the border to Mexico for a day trip of sightseeing and shopping? Chances are, the weather will cooperate. San Diego's average daytime temperature is 70 degrees. Winter temperatures rarely fall below 45 degrees, and San Diego basks in 267 sunny days each year.

The city and surrounding area have much to offer, no matter what you're in the mood to do. From Balboa Park (1,200 acres just north of downtown) to the San Diego Zoo, you're surrounded by wildlife. And speaking of wildlife, why not check out the clubs and live entertainment in the Gaslamp Quarter? When it comes to sports, you won't be disappointed: the San Diego Chargers and Padres also help to keep things lively. The city is also enjoying a healthy economy, fueled by high-tech businesses such as information technologies and telecommunications.
