I attended Marin Horizon in the early 2000s, from 3rd through 8th grade. Those years were extremely formative for me, but unfortunately were not a good time - in fact I remember them today as being the worst years of my life. The academics at MHS may have been good, but are rendered irrelevant by the brutal, ceaseless bullying I experienced, the scars of which haunt me to this day. I have memories of horrible things my classmates did to me while teachers stood by and did nothing. It pains me to think that my parents spent so much money for me to be treated so poorly, and even today I wonder how I made it through those years of misery and came out the other side. Today I’m 32 and have a wonderful and fulfilling life that I am extremely proud of - everything I have is not because of, but rather in spite of, my time at MHS.

We have had children at Marin Primary and Middle School for over 5 years and we could not be more grateful to be a part of this community. The teachers are truly invested in our children's education and emotional wellbeing. The school does a great job and amplifying the subjects that our kids excel in and support those that are more challenging. Being a parent here feels like a real partnership in how to best support each kid, and when you email administration they get back to you with a collaborative approach. Thank you Marin Primary!

We could not be more thrilled with our decision to move our daughter mid-year to Marin Montessori. Her love of learning has returned, and she lights up when talking about her school projects and classroom activities. The school's commitment to hands-on education and self directed learning is a perfect fit for our daughter, and she has matured greatly both socially and academically under the care and guidance of MM's incredible staff. Our daughter has ADHD and the small class size, individual relationships with teachers, and experiential activities have fostered her natural creativity and curiosity after public school had effectively shut it down. We could not be more grateful for this wonderful school.

This is our first year at Chronos. My daughter is 4.5years old (TK) and in the TK/K/1 classroom. It’s been such a great experience and she’s learned so much. Chronos is a hidden gem of a school, it’s an experience not only for the students, but also the parents. There are so many opportunities for family involvement from field trip Fridays and weekly presentations. I also love all the photos and videos that are uploaded! Chronos is a good mix of fun combined with strong academics. The school also offers early care and aftercare. They’re open at 8 and close at 5, except Fridays pick up is at 4. I am by profession a public school educator and I strongly endorse Chronos!
