Connected
Curious
Courageous
Marin Primary & Middle School is the school where connections get made—between people, between disciplines, and between students and the world around them. From preschool through eighth grade, MP&MS is a community of individuals joined by a common love of learning and respect for all the stages of the journey from childhood through adolescence. Only when students care about where they are now can they discover their own path. The connections they make, the curiosity they exhibit, and the courage they demonstrate today are what will make tomorrow rewarding.
