School Notes Overview: |
Our mission at Marin Horizon School is to challenge students to be self-reliant thinkers and lifelong learners. Through our Montessori-inspired, integrated and multi-cultural curriculum, we inspire academic excellence, nurture students' natural love of learning, and encourage them to be confident individuals who are responsible to each other, the community, and the world.
We are located on two acres of land in Mill Valley, California, in a safe, quiet, and friendly residential neighborhood surrounded by the redwoods of Mt. Tamalpais. We serve families from towns and cities throughout Marin County, San Francisco and the North and East Bay areas.
