As I'm getting ready for our Information Open House on October 3, I can turn to look out my office window and across campus to a gorgeous fall day in the Marin Headlands. Independent school admissions follow a seasonal cycle more or less beginning this time of year as families and students get to know us in the fall. It continues through the winter when much of the behind-the-scenes work is done as applications, transcripts, and recommendations are read and reread, then into spring -- which often comes too soon in our field -- as decision letters are mailed and contracts are returned. After a quick pause to breathe, the cycle starts all over again!
One of the many benefits of doing admission work for The Marin School is that our small-by-design environment allows admissions to be ongoing, despite where in the season the traditional admission process happens to be. Mid-year relocations and students finding themselves not well placed in the school they currently attend typically have few options for quality independent school education. The Marin School, however, is an option, and a wonderful one at that. We love to meet potential applicants any time of year for consideration any time of year. parents are often a school's best advocates: Please spread the word about this possibility for mid-year enrollment, and let me know how I can work with you to make The Marin School as known and admired as it deserves to be.
Thank you!
