Academic Program
At Marin Horizon, learning lives at the intersection of academic rigor and imagination, challenge and unwavering support. We guide students to stretch beyond what they thought possible—building the confidence and curiosity to navigate a world brimming with ideas.
We're excited for you to learn more about our programs from Toddler to Grade 8,
At Marin Horizon, students feel “seen”, “heard” and “valued” for their authentic selves. They develop self confidence to maximize learning, courage to get out of their comfort zones, and they learn to celebrate mistakes on the pathway to success.

Toddler Program
The Toddler Program at Marin Horizon is a Montessori-inspired sanctuary designed for the unique developmental stage of 2-year-olds, an age filled with curiosity, growth, and burgeoning independence.
Our teachers craft a sensory-rich world that encourages toddlers to explore and connect with their surroundings. Play becomes a guided journey where touch, movement, and interaction are paths to learning.
Primary Program
The Primary Program is a Montessori-inspired oasis, specially designed to nurture the cherished stage of early childhood.
Children are encouraged to explore the world at their own pace through an array of engaging activities, purposefully designed to spark interest, and develop language, gross and fine motor skills, as well as independence.
Lower School (K-4)
At Marin Horizon, the Lower School years establish the essential building blocks of a child’s education. We’re laying the groundwork for the mindsets that lead to a lifetime love of learning and the knowledge and confidence to take on big challenges.
Through experiential learning and close collaboration with teachers, we’re fostering an environment that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, self awareness, and meaningful connections with peers.
Middle School (5-8)
The Middle School years are a time of exploration and development, both academically and as a responsible citizen of the world. Students are encouraged to work on self-advocacy and academic resilience as they develop critical thinking skills. Students are encouraged to celebrate differences and share their perspectives in an expanding community. The Upper School endeavors to help students take ownership of their own education and graduate with a strong sense of self and a desire to contribute positively to the world.
