About MA

Diversity

Marin Academy believes in the amazing richness of diversity: racial, ethnic, cultural, geographic, sexual and socio-economic, as well as the diversity of differing perspectives and beliefs, to name but a few. Our strength as a school is dependent upon a full and open discourse among diverse people. We seek to find in our fellow humans that which makes us stronger, and in that exchange we find our capacity for change and our potential as a community. And while, in the future, our growth and commitment will continue to be broad reaching and inclusive of all differences, our next strategic priority will be to increase the presence of people of color in our fold, acknowledging as we do so a specific institutional need.

Goal:
Increase the presence of people of color at Marin Academy.

Implementation steps:

  • Increase the population of students of color to at least one in four
  • Expand efforts to increase the population of adults of color at Marin Academy, including faculty, staff, administrators, Board of Trustees and Board Committees
  • Increase the Admissions Office budget in support of expanded outreach, marketing and scholarship efforts
  • Foster the institutional change necessary to achieve a more inclusive community
