Parent Testimonials
My son has thrived at REAL School Marin, going from thinking of himself as a poor learner to seeing himself as one of the strongest students in the class, participating actively in class discussions, doing extra credit work and even winning an award in the San Domenico Speech Tournament... The school has nurtured his natural sense of social responsibility.

Unlike a larger middle school, your son or daughter will not fall through the cracks at REAL School. The group dynamic that evolves with the other students and the teachers enables each person to grow as an individual.
-- L. B., an 8th grade parent
Not to sound too dramatic but this school transformed my son. He likes school! He appreciates learning -- he studies, he writes essays, he competes in speech tournaments (and wins) and he does his homework --- on his own. My son who was moving from grade to grade with little motivation and less enthusiasm is now an excellent student [who was accepted at both Branson and Marin Academy!]

We gave you a disinterested, disengaged boy who hated school and wouldn't get out the door in the morning and you are giving us back a confident, inquisitive young man who is engaged and inspired to take intellectual and academic risks. He wants to do the best he can. That is tangible testimony to you and the school. One hopes that somewhere in one's child's education there is that mythological teacher, the one that becomes the basis of comparison for all others. You are it and not are you just one, but three. You have proven this twice, first with Eli and now Mac.
