The Marin School delivers personalized education at its best.
how a small school can make a BIG impact:
WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
At TMS each student is seen and celebrated for who they are, as they are. This warm, welcoming culture lays a foundation where self-confidence, personal growth, creativity, and learning can thrive.
WE BELIEVE A COLLEGE PREP CURRICULUM GOES BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
By equally prioritizing the mastering of content and subject matter, and teaching students how to think, reason, interpret, analyze, and improvise, TMS graduates leave with the future-ready skills needed to embark on life's journey as thoughtful, confident, contributing members of the global community.
WE HONOR THE INDIVIDUAL LEARNING STYLE OF EACH STUDENT.
"The Marin School offers the extraordinary opportunity to learn in an atmosphere that is warm, individualized and happy. Students here are deeply engaged with both their work and their teachers. This is what education should look like." -Madeline Levine , Ph.D., Author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well
WE TAKE A CREATIVE APPROACH TO EVERYTHING WE DO.
Creativity is encouraged and embraced at all levels of the learning process, in the classrooms and across disciplines. The Marin School teachers are empowered to teach, and students are free to learn in surprising, sometimes unorthodox, yet thoroughly effective ways. We celebrate project-based learning and STEM programming, including integrative use of coding and hands-on tools in our Fab Lab and coding classes.
FACULTY WHO SUPPORT, CHALLENGE
& INSPIRE.
The Marin School faculty is made up of passionate, skilled, motivated teachers who love what they do. They also know that not everyone learns in the same way. As a result, creative approaches for teaching and learning are cornerstone values of The Marin School.
WE ARE A SMALL SCHOOL
BY DESIGN.
Our small class size (9 on average) and low-student-to teacher ratio (8-to-1 average), naturally encourage more personalized teaching, experiential learning, innovative lessons and non-traditional, yet effective, learning opportunities.
