Marin Montessori School

Marin Montessori School is an AMI-accredited private school in Corte Madera, CA, serving children from 18 months through 8th grade. The school recognizes that each child develops at their own pace and offers specialized support through dedicated Learning Difference Programs and ADD/ADHD support services. These programs are integrated into the Montessori approach, which emphasizes individual pacing, hands-on learning, and building independence—principles that benefit many students with learning differences and attention challenges.

The school maintains small class sizes (average 12 students) with 34 classroom teachers, creating an environment where children receive individualized attention and can work at their own developmental level. The Montessori method's focus on self-directed learning, multi-sensory materials, and concrete-to-abstract progression can be particularly effective for students who learn differently. The diverse community of 295 students and commitment to nurturing each child's "fullest potential intellectually, physically, socially, creatively, emotionally, and spiritually" reflects an inclusive philosophy.

Admission deadlines are rolling with a January 31 priority date. Fifteen percent of students receive financial aid.
