The Marin School is a fully-accredited, independent, college preparatory high school offering a dynamic, thought-provoking curriculum that propels its graduates to colleges and universities around the US. What is unique and different about The Marin School is its personalized approach. The Marin School is small by design, not by default. Being small has significant benefits. In particular, there is the transformative effect The Marin School experience has on the young people entrusted to it. Because of the small class size (8 on average) and the low-student-to teacher ratio (7 to 1 on average), teachers at The Marin School truly understand their students—who they are, how they think, what motivates them and how they learn. The Marin School students have a real relationship with their teachers and the administrators. Most important, our teachers have the motivation and experience, far broader than only teaching skills, to tailor and personalize the learning process for each student individually. We have an unshakeable belief in the potential of each and every person. We also know that not everyone learns in the same way. As a result, creative approaches for teaching and learning are cornerstone values at The Marin School.
