A Middle School That Sees Your Child
At Marin Primary & Middle School, we believe every child deserves an education that honors who they are and who they are becoming.
Families of early adolescents worry about academic pressure, social dynamics, and whether their child will be truly seen.
MP&MS's middle school is intentionally different.
Progressive Education, Exceptional Results
We are a progressive school grounded in the belief that students learn best through meaningful experience, not memorization or passive listening. Our students engage deeply with ideas, collaborate with peers, and apply their learning to real-world challenges.
This approach leads not only to strong engagement but to exceptional academic outcomes. Our students consistently outperform their peers in other Marin schools in math and reading.
Learning Who They Are
Self-knowledge
By the time they graduate, they understand their strengths, know how to navigate challenges, and can advocate for themselves with confidence.
Prepared for life
This self-knowledge prepares them not just for high school, but for life. We preserve their innate love of learning, promote their natural curiosity, and empower them for life.
Just as importantly, our students learn who they are as learners.
Small by Design
Our small middle school is small by design. Students are known well by their teachers, supported by learning specialists and counselors, and challenged at the level they need, whether that means extra scaffolding or opportunities for acceleration.
Understood and valued
Students are known well by their teachers and supported by learning specialists and counselors.
Supported & Challenged
Students are challenged at the level they need, whether that means extra scaffolding or opportunities for acceleration.
Inclusive & Affirming
We are deeply experienced in supporting neurodivergent, gifted, and twice-exceptional learners in inclusive, affirming ways.
