If you travel just about as far south as you can go in California, you will find yourself in the amazing city of San Diego. Known for being a happy, clean, and active city, San Diego is a city of over a million residents, but it someone maintains the feeling of a smaller, more intimate city. Those that live here in San Diego can attest to the vibrant culture, and the access residents have to so many different amenities, industries, and activities. Also a huge tourist destination, San Diego has so much to offer for both residents and visitors.
Located close to the border of Mexico, San Diego is probably the best place to go in the entire United States for authentic Mexican cuisine. Many local neighborhoods and districts are dominated by Mexican culture, and the vibrant flavor exists much to the delight of locals and tourists alike. The history of this Mexican influence goes way back to when this land was claimed by Spain, and then later taken by the Mexican government. After the Mexican-American War, the United States laid claim to this part of California, but no matter the government shift, this area will always be home to authentic Mexican cultural influences.
When it comes to the arts, San Diego is home to an abundance of art museums, galleries, and cultural centers. Popular among tourists, the San Diego Museum of Art brings in many visitors every day, as it has world-renounced galleries and exhibitions. The San Diego Air and Space Museum is also a popular place to go to learn, and one cannot neglect to mention the San Diego Zoo. Visiting Balboa Park is a must, as it is a central hub of activity for San Diego and is also the location for many museums, and the San Diego Zoo itself is located here. Many art festivals and markets, along with holiday celebrations and music events, are hosted at Balboa Park throughout the year.
Several different independent school districts serve the city of San Diego. Most of the public schools within the city are included within the San Diego Unified School District, which is also one of the largest school districts in the entire state. It makes sense, too, as San Diego is such a large city. Beyond public schools, the city of San Diego also has access to many private schools and charter schools, along with several universities of higher learning. For students of all ages, local San Diego tutors are available for one-on-one help. Local tutors can help each student in their own problem areas, helping every student achieve success when it comes to their own educational goals.
