Visit

The MA Admissions team invites you to get to know our school and community. We look forward to getting to know you and your family throughout the Admissions process and are excited for you to learn more about us as well!

Attend an Event

We have completed our admissions process for the 2022-2023 school year.

On September 1 we release spaces for the upcoming month’s MA Admission events in Ravenna. Each subsequent month, on the 1st at noon, we will release the following month’s events throughout the admission season. You can sign up through Ravenna. (Once you create your Ravenna profile, remember to click the green “Apply” button on MA’s Ravenna page—don't worry, that doesn't force you to complete the application, but it allows you to register for admissions events.) All of our admissions events are optional.

The safety and well-being of our MA community and visiting families is our first priority. Our decision-making, as always, is data-driven and you will see a blend of in-person and virtual events. We encourage you to attend any that interest you and be in touch with us (both the admissions team and our community) throughout the year.

We hope these events will give you a glimpse into what it’s like to be an MA student. We can’t wait to meet you!

Open House

Marin Academy’s virtual Open House offers prospective families an opportunity to select and participate in class experiences taught by MA faculty that most interest you, learn about the school’s signature programs and student life, and connect directly with members of the community.

A note about COVID-19: The safety and well-being of our MA community and visiting families is our first priority. While we love hosting you on campus, for an event this size the data is clear: it is in the best interest of our Bay Area community and public health and safety to gather virtually. Our teachers, who became experts in Zoom teaching last year, cannot wait to meet and share their lessons with you. If you would like to visit us in person as well, please see the other event options listed below.

Open House Dates:

October 23

November 14

Classroom Visits

Prospective students are invited to join a live 75 minute MA class to experience what it is like to be an MA student. Over the course of three classroom visit weeks this fall, every class at MA has visits offered, so choose the one(s) that interest you most. When you get here we encourage you to participate, ask questions, and dive in fully!

Virtual Office Hours

Connect personally with the Admissions Team to get all of your questions answered during virtual office hours on the first Monday of each month.

Geared towards students (though all are more than welcome), this is a casual setting to chat with MA students and the Admissions team. Pop-in for 5 minutes or stay the whole time. This is a great way to get a sense for the MA community "vibe." No need to register for these drop-in opportunities, but you can find the zoom link in Ravenna.

Monday, October 4	Monday, November 1
Monday, December 6	Monday, January 3

Student-Led Workshop

Designed and taught by MA students on a wide range of topics, Student-Led Workshops are a great way to connect with MA students, learn something new, and gain a stronger perspective of how dedicated our students are to education. Popular past topics range from Art & Activism to Introduction to Psychology. Workshops will be held from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. in November and December. Specific dates will be announced soon.

Self-Guided Audio Tour

Grab a comfy pair of shoes and head to Marin Academy to walk the campus in person with your very own student audio guides. Originally developed by students for an American Education class, and updated specifically with you in mind, all the voices you hear on this student-created audio tour are current MA students. You can also use the campus map, and follow along with the audio tour from home.
