At Marin Primary & Middle School we make education meaningful, while encouraging pride in self, respect for others, and enthusiasm for learning.

We treasure childhood.
We honor and enjoy children's natural curiosity, competence and exuberance.

We teach to reach children.
Using teams of teachers and educational methods tailored to how children learn best, we connect with our students, build trusting relationships and make learning relevant, memorable and fun.

We teach children to reach.
Asking not "how smart is the child" but "how is the child smart," we guide our students to see their full potential, and we equip them to pursue it with passion and purpose.

We inspire children to make a difference.
We value academic excellence, personal integrity and community action, and encourage our students to become informed, engaged and ethical global citizens.
