Novato has great public and private schools; from pre school, elementary, through high school

For pre-schools, there are traditional day care/pre schools/nursery school, Montessori, YMCA run, Novato Youth Center, and others. For K to 12 schools, you have religious school, none denominational; alternative schools, charter schools, and traditional public schools; there are GATE programs, special ED programs and many others; same as high schools. Our public schools have some of the best academic and performing arts programs, along with excellent athletic and extra curriculum programs. Coupling with that, the Novato Parks and Recreation offers many enrichment programs throughout the year.

Novato schools are very diverse and have some of the highest scores in the county. Although scores are one of the main indicators there are many other ingredients that go into making great schools and living in Novato and having children attend schools in Novato gives one much more insight. Both the Public and Private schools of Novato have very much to be proud of over the years.Both as a parent and coach I have seen lots of children excel in many areas.

Having children in the school system, I have explored all avenues from public to private pre-schools to high schools. All of the schools are very focused on the success of the student. Our schools have a fabulous amount of parent participation. Most of our children in Novato go on the receive higher education. I would encourage families with children to explore our town and our wonderful schools.

As the PTA President for one of our local schools, the Novato Unified School District maintains an overall excellent academic environment. Diversity and performance are a key. Both private and public education give our children the knowledge necessary to compete in todays world.
