Welcome
Marin Waldorf School strives to educate children to become capable, compassionate, and curious adults, nourished by a deep sense of self and responsibility toward others. Led by a highly experienced administration and our dedicated faculty, our vibrant, experiential, and interdisciplinary curriculum blends math, sciences, art, music, performance, healthy movement, language arts, a dual world language program, and outdoor education.
Located on a beautiful 10-acre campus on ancestral Miwok land in Lucas Valley, we are the only accredited Waldorf school in Marin County, currently enrolling 180 students, preschool to 8th grade.
Our History
In the fall of 1972, three young mothers—Sharon Rosen, Lesley Rosenberg, and Norma Davidson—opened the Marin Children's School in the Davidson family home in Fairfax, California, with just a kindergarten and first grade class. From this small seed, our school took shape. Quickly growing in size, the school relocated to Mill Valley, and then a campus on North San Pedro Road in San Rafael, where it was located for four years. We moved to our current site in 1983. In the spring of 2023, we celebrated 50 years since our school’s founding at Deer Park Villa in Fairfax.
Many things have changed since 1973, but our school's purpose remains the same: to educate the next generation of children to learn, connect with each other, and make a positive contribution to the world.
