pretty good overall but not as amazing as I thought it would be. Had high expectations going in and honestly they weren't met academics wise. Sports are really good, food is great, and always feel safe.

Marin Academy's focus on experiential learning has been the highlight of education. Throughout my four years, I have taken many field trips. This year, I went to the SFMoMA for my art class and on a hike for my leadership class for an immersive lesson on how to make podcasts.

Marin Academy has been a fantastic environment for all three of my children. They all have different interests and strengths and have all thrived - academically, in the arts and in sports.

Marin Academy offers a rigorous college preparatory academic curriculum and a top notch music and art program, but it is not a school where kids that are shy and not super confident will thrive. MA attracts very outgoing and confident students, so if your child matches that description, it is a grea...
