School Information

Instructional Model
TPHS provides a wide variety of yearlong course offerings for students at every academic level through an in person learning model. Students can take up to 7 classes per year, but we encourage students to take 6 classes a year so they can better balance their demands outside the school day. Our modified rotating block bell schedule offers flexibility for students who prefer to start school later, or who wish to end their day earlier. Yearlong, in person classes help students build strong connections with teachers and classmates. 
 
 
In order to provide wellness opportunities and flexibility for students, here are some important things to know about the Torrey Pines High School bell schedule:
 
  • Period 1, our daily, 55-minute class, starts at 8:30 - Students opting for a later start time can take an "unscheduled period" during 1st period and start school at 9:35 every day.
  • Students who have activities in the afternoon are encouraged to take 6 classes and take either 6th or 7th period unscheduled - To do this students will need to take a class during 1st period.
  • On alternating Wednesdays, TPHS offers Student Connectedness (SC) time. During this 30 minute session, students will engage in wellness activities, enjoy our student produced Falcon Vision newsmagazine show, collaborate on Student Senate topics, and learn about important school information. School connection is one of our strengths at TPHS, and we are proud to make student connection a systemic part of our school day!
  • To continually our instructional and professional practices, on alternating Wednesdays our staff works together during collaboration time in the afternoon. Students are released at 2:25 so staff can collaborate, share best practices, and engage in teacher wellness activities. For details, please refer to our TPHS School Calendar - 2023-2024
  • Wednesdays have a different bell schedule, so be sure you are familiar with what time school ends on Wednesdays - TPHS Bell Schedule - 2023-2024
