Marin Primary & Middle School

Lovely garden. Multi million dollar play yard. Designer amphitheater. Sadly, the culture is as superficial as the cushioned play area. the school lacks the very soul needed to nurture and truly treasure EVERY child, not just those of wealthy donors and protected staff members. There are much better options especially in Marin. More culturally diverse options. Better and more effective teachers especially in the younger, formative years. More nurturing and welcoming environments. MPMS. More Price, Missing Soul. Save your kid the yacht club experience and give them the education they deserve.

We have two children that have attended Marin Primary and Middle School from pre school to 8^th grade. Our third, who started when she was 2 years old, will graduate 8^th grade next year. This school has been an amazing gift for our family. All three kids have thrived in a learning community of teachers and staff that are at this school because they love what they do and love kids.
Our older children arrived at high school prepared for academic rigor, but they also had a confidence and sense of self that we credit to Marin Primary. Our kids love (d) to go to school every day – our MPMS graduates still go back to visit. This is truly a community of wonderful leadership, staff, parents and students.

I’ve just begun sending my daughter here and she is having a ball!

Wow, just saw Eva C.H.‘s comments and have to say my family has had just the opposite experience over the past 7 years. We have two kids at the school. My youngest is in 3^rd grade, started in the pre-​school 6 years ago and my oldest is in 6^th grade. There are so many families that have been at the school for years and same goes for the faculty. This is a vibrant learning environment that turns out great kids. We’ve attended the last couple of 8^th grade graduations, and the graduates are impressive — educated, poised, confident young men and women, that go on to join some of the best schools in the area (both public and private). The buzz in the halls is about the increasing number of families joining the school from SF. If you are looking for a smaller sized school, passionate engaged faculty, and visionary administrators, MP&MS is worth checking out. We have found this school to be a wise investment in our kids’ future.

Our child just completed his first year at this school in the Preschool, and it has been fantastic! We had great teachers (Tika, Raquel, and Gabe) and they were nothing short of fantastic. It will be sad to see Gabe leave, and we all wish him the best!
The highlight of our experience have definitely been the supportive environment provided by the instructors — they worked with us closely in helping to provide the best experience for our child. The school is very family-​oriented and responsive and comes very highly recommended!

Great school!

Marin Primary & Middle School is a phenomenal school with teams of teachers, a nearly 50% male staff and a great philosophy of «Treasuring Childhood».
As an elementary school principal at another school, and a former third grade teacher at MP&MS, I encourage you to come by and take a tour of Marin Primary & Middle School. Truly an amazing school.
