Welcome to Marin Academy!
At MA, we believe educational excellence should push the boundaries of what is known today in order to prepare students for a world we can’t even imagine tomorrow. As a result, MA graduates are as well-prepared as they are well-rounded, and are uniquely qualified to embrace and solve the problems of the 21st century. And because many voices are welcomed and encouraged at MA, our students cultivate the tools they need to live their lives fully, and the inspiration to contribute as compassionate citizens to our world.
Our classrooms are the starting point for a journey of learning, not the end. MA students are empowered to reflect deeply in order to make meaning of what’s been learned, a philosophy reinforced in the way we structure our day and in our practice of ensuring that instruction and assessments emphasize deep understanding as the true pinnacle of achievement—not just getting the answer right on a test. One of the benefits of being able to think deeply about their subjects is that our students develop critical thinking sensibilities—our curriculum allows students to look at problems from multiple perspectives, to analyze, and to synthesize until solutions are in view.
Finally, at MA, we believe school should be joyful. Our formula for a joyous high school experience is to create a perfect blend of intellectualism, creativity, athleticism, compassion, and fun. Our graduates tell us time and time again the joy they found in their MA experience stemmed from the mix of all of those things together, and from the knowledge that supportive arms were around them on their journeys.
Speaking of journeys, we wish you the very best on yours, and hope it brings you to campus soon.
Sincerely,
The Marin Academy Admissions Team
