Visit Us

Thank you for your interest in Marin Academy! We hope that you have a chance to come visit the school at some point during the application process. There are a number of ways to become familiar with our campus, faculty, students and philosophy.

Visit Days

Student visit days are not required, but are recommended as a way for prospective students and parents to judge for themselves whether Marin Academy is a good match.

Visit times vary slightly depending on visit date, but our half day visits generally start at 7:50 or 9:15 AM. Parents are invited at the same start time as the student for an informal question and answer session with the Admissions Director and a tour of the Marin Academy campus. This parent program typically lasts one and a half to two hours.

To schedule a visit appointment, call the Admissions Office starting August 23, 2007 at 415.453.2808. Although we try to accommodate as many families as possible, these visit appointments are limited.
