At Marin Academy, we seek to enroll students who demonstrate a love of learning and have the ability to pursue a challenging college preparatory curriculum that is balanced by participation in a broad array of activities outside the of the classroom. Our students and faculty work together to create an environment in which every member of our community can take on the greatest possible challenges - and succeed at them. At Marin Academy, high school is more than just a collection of credits, it's a composite of days - four full years of a fully lived life.
