Every private school in Marin, one honest guide
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family makes. It shapes not just the next few years, but the friendships, confidence, and love of learning your child carries for life, and it deserves better tools than scattered websites and word of mouth. We built this guide so Marin families can make that decision with clear, complete information, all in one place.
Marin County has one of the richest private-school landscapes in the country. 119 schools and early-childhood programs serve a county of about 260,000 people. But researching them meant dozens of browser tabs, out-of-date directories, and tuition figures buried in PDFs. We built this guide to put everything in one place: every private preschool, elementary, middle, and high school in the county, side by side.
How we gather our information
We gather figures from schools' own published materials wherever possible: tuition schedules, admissions pages, and accreditation records. We are preparing private school accounts so school teams can confirm their listing information and, when editing access is available, keep it current. Until then, unverified figures are marked clearly.
Who we are
We're Marin parents who went through this search ourselves, from choosing a preschool all the way through prep school. Along the way our kids learned from outstanding teachers, took the stage in the school play, and tried out for the volleyball team. Those experiences shaped who they became, and we know the school you choose will shape your child too. We wish your family every success in your search. Questions, corrections, or ideas? We'd love to hear from you.
