Reviews of Marin Montessori Jr High
"I've had countless conversations with parents outside of the Marin Montessori School community about how challenging middle school can be. I feel incredibly fortunate that I can't relate to their experiences at all! We feel so supported by the MMS faculty and administration who generously share their expertise in early adolescent development through various avenues, including parent education events, teacher conferences, and one-on-one conversations. Our son is met with compassion by both his teachers and peers as he learns to take big leaps, learns from his mistakes, and explores new social and academic horizons. Navigating the complexities of these early teen years is made more manageable by the presence of thoughtful, open, and generous families around us. I have absolute confidence that the parents at MMS have my back and will respond to any situation with kindness and compassion as we journey down this path together."
"The MMS Junior High experience has been life-changing for our family and especially transformative for our son, who started MMS in 7th grade after spending 6th grade in a large public middle school. We watched our son go from enduring routine Sunday night stomachaches, frequent bullying, out of control campus behavior and a lot of generic busy work to finding a safe and caring community of other engaged learners who inspire and challenge him. Now, he can't wait to go to school--we all can relax Sunday night! We have to pinch ourselves that this is the same young man, now glowing with self-confidence, new friendships and excitement about his future. He is comfortable being himself in a community he trusts and that is in no small part due to MMS. There are a lot of great schools in Marin and academics are probably the easiest thing to find or fix. It's all the other stuff that can get in the way of learning. For us, MMS was the best fit because it was a smaller environment where our son could feel connected without sacrificing an expansive education. We aren't experts yet about the Montessori philosophy, but I've come to think of it like the wild geese of Mary Oliver's famous poem--it aims to show students "how the world offers itself to (y)our imagination" -- and that's been incredible to witness in practice for our son. In a nutshell, this school is special because... ...the teachers and staff spend time getting to know each student and build an authentic relationship with them; I am always impressed by how well they know our son and the insights they offer specific to his growth. ...the values and culture are real; MMS staff and parents are inclusive and committed to understanding the issues facing teens today and keeping MMS a safe place to navigate them. ...the curriculum is student-centered, richly varied, hands-on and FUN! ...the beautiful campus and working farm connect students with nature and the joy and responsibility of caring for living things, of working the land and seeing the fruits of their labor--not to mention the empowerment that comes from utilizing the world as your classroom. ...the students love to learn and aren't afraid to show it. Middle school doesn't have to be miserable. We're almost through 8th grade and it just keeps getting better. Our younger son can't wait to join in a few years and we're so relieved MMS will be there for him when the time comes."
"Our son is thriving at MMS Jr High! In the supportive academic environment of the faculty, our son has flourished beyond what we could have imagined. The nurturing culture of MMS has enabled our son to grow as an independent and critical learner, and provided numerous opportunities for him to take on key leadership roles within the student community. He has been able to start new student clubs and facilitate learning experiences for his peers - in math and chess. Perhaps what surprised us the most was when he decided to try out for the school play and ended up in a lead role. For a young student who has never been shy, but also never wanted to be the center of attention, he knew that he could take on a new risk because the culture of the school is so committed to fostering his growth."
"Attending the Junior High at Marin Montessori School has been one of the best choices we have made with our eldest child. We truly could not recommend the school enough. The faculty and administration are experienced and engaged. Our child has felt academically challenged and personally supported. She has been encouraged to dive deeper into her interests, integrate her hobbies into her studies, and explore subjects and activities around which she has been hesitant. This year, she is participating in Montessori Model UN, and it is quickly becoming a highlight of her year. The facilities have recently been renovated, and the environment is even more reflective of the warmth and openness of the school. The community at MMS - the faculty, administration, students, and parents - has been an incredible resource as we all move through our years at the school. Whether it be questions about the Montessori pedagogy, childhood and adolescent development, navigating the tricky technology landscape, or just appreciating the challenges that come with these ages, we have been grateful to have such support as we each take part in raising these young people to be active participants in the world we want to see. As our eldest looks to graduate this spring, we know she will navigate through life with great curiosity, drive, and compassion that is in large part due to her time at MMS. Our youngest, a person with a very different personality and interests than our eldest, cannot wait to join the Junior High next year, and we are just as excited for the growth we will see in him."
"Marin Montessori Junior High Program has the highest quality Montessori education can provide. Highly trained/dedicated teachers/faculty who focus and guides the growth and independence of each child individually. They really create an environment of enthusiasm for learning, appreciation for growing and room for making mistake a long the way. Our son graduated from the Junior High Program this year. We have seen the positive advances in him during his time at MMS. The Junior High program also has a beautiful campus with a wonderful garden and farm."
