MMS Endowment

The Time to Prepare for the Future is Now

Marin Montessori School has a strong history of planning for the future. Starting 60 years ago with the bold vision of a small group of Marin families seeking to provide the best possible education for their students, our one-room schoolhouse in San Rafael has transformed into one of only two fully accredited AMI (Association Montessori International) and CAIS (California Association of Independent Schools) independent schools in California.

Our community of AMI educators and independent school leadership provide world-renowned, high-fidelity Montessori education to families seeking the intentionality and scientific approach to learning that Montessori has to offer.

As the founding families looked to the future, we are once again taking bold action to secure Marin Montessori School for generations to come.

To be here for the next 60 years and beyond, our school must safeguard the financial flexibility that goes beyond annual tuition and fundraising goals by establishing a permanent endowment to support innovation, access, and excellence for all our constituents.

Founding Families

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Founding Families of the Marin Montessori School Endowment. Their extraordinary generosity will leave an enduring legacy.
