Who we are
Welcome to Marin Horizon School!
We are an independent, coeducational day school serving toddlers through middle schoolers. Our campus is located at the foot of Mount Tamalpais in Mill Valley, California.
About Us
Founded in 1977, we have always been proud to say that we're a different kind of school. One that fosters a genuine passion for learning, kindness, and positive change. Our curriculum is designed to inspire students to embrace challenges, think critically, and become compassionate advocates. And within our inclusive community, every student is seen, heard, and valued.
We believe every child begins school with an extraordinary capacity to wonder. The purpose of education is not simply to preserve that curiosity, but to deepen it by helping children become thoughtful learners, compassionate leaders, and confident human beings. At Marin Horizon, every experience is intentionally designed with that purpose in mind.
From the Toddler experience through an eighth grader's graduation speech, our learning environment is designed to honor child development and cultivate intellectual, social-emotional, and physical growth through a curriculum of meaningful learning, deliberately designed across subjects, so students can make sense of an interconnected world.
As you explore our school, we invite you to imagine your child's journey at Marin Horizon and to visit our campus to experience the warmth, energy, and sense of possibility that define our community.
