Private Schools

Though the campus from school it's a fairly good quality one very large quorum is that at the school Christianity get forced down your throat very hard

My son is a sophomore at Drew and has been "on fire" since day one! He comments daily on the amazing community, the engaging interactions he has with his teachers, the kindness of the other students and the relaxed environment that makes his challenging academics actually fun!

Choosing to send our kids to an independent school was a tough decision. First of all, there was the commute — we live in SF and Marin Montessori is nearly 30 minutes from our house. Then, their was the idea of committing to a non-traditional style of education — my wife and I both went to traditional schools and were concerned about “handing off” the responsibility to educate our child to MMS. Finally, there was the price — there are lots of good, free public schools in SF so, why would we send our kids to private school? After very careful consideration, we decided to send our eldest to Marin Montessori and that has been amongst the best decisions of his young life. First, the commute on the bus provided by MMS not only worked seamlessly into our busy lives, it became a highlight of our son’s day. He routinely recounts his bus adventures (sometimes its the only part of his day he shares) from learning about peregrine falcons to discussing bridges, to spending time with older kids. What once seemed “non-traditional” education has transformed into a truly holistic education. Our son is learning all of the academics he needs for his age but there is equal focus on his happiness, his ability to take care of himself, identifying his style of learning and articulating what and how he contributes to collaborations with his peers. MMS has shown us that school is not about preparing for college, it’s about preparing for life. Finally, private school is expensive and, at times, that expense can be hard to justify. A good friend shared with me that she was only able to justify the expense of an independent school if she was able to understand how the school benefited her WHOLE family. The Montessori culture of empathy and collaboration; the community of families that deeply value education (and educators); and the knowledge and experience of the staff of teachers and support our kids together have made it easy to justify our choice to send our kids to MMS. Thank you MMS!

TERRIBLE SCHOOL. Absolutely careless when it comes to students. Teachers bullied my kid, harassed and tramautized her, did nothing when other kids in class bullied her as well. We tried to get the faculty to do something when she was terrified of attending school every morning, crying and begging for help. Faculty only made situation worse by gathering whole class and pointing a finger at her, telling the class to leave her alone. Which made them even more relentless. All the boys in her class teamed up against her and shamed her daily. She went from an outgoing and happy kid to a depressed and quiet one. But her silence didn’t save her, the bullying kept on going. Kids encouraged her to end her own life. She suffered major depression for years after and still has PTSD. She harmed herself and thought endlessly of suicide because of this horrible place. Please do not send your children to this school. Horribly sexist and biased, will treat kids whose parents donate more better than other kids. Hired a pedophilic man who had been fired from another school for his actions. Disgusting.

Wonderful school!

The golden gate backdrop is hard to beat. Friendly students. Staff is remarkable. School is newer and nimble, but has an impressive track record in turning out kids who give back, are intellectually able and engaged learners.

We should have supported our Kittredge School friends more. One of them was picking up golf balls at the park. We should have picked up more golf balls in the 1980s.

My youngest of four attended nine years at Carden Hall from kindergarten to 8th grade. This was the best investment of my life. Our three oldest attended Newport Heights followed by Ensign. After a few months of our youngest attending kindergarten at the Heights, we started looking at private schools. Our daughter and two of her classmates transferred to Carden. It is the most remarkable educational experience. Go visit. Tour the facility and see for yourself. It is worth every single penny!!
