Academic Excellence
& Love of Learning
Challenging academics and a student-centered approach are seamlessly combined with each child's natural curiosity and creativity to develop a lifelong love of learning.
Campus
& Nature
Nestled between the hills of Ring Mountain and the waters of the Bay, our 35-acre campus acts as a second classroom, allowing students the freedom to learn, play, and explore in an environment closely linked to nature.
Co-Educational Benefits
& Inclusive Community
At MCDS, students learn and work together in an academic and social setting where they benefit from being with peers of different genders—better preparing them for the real world.
SF - Marin
& Families Throughout the Bay Area
Nearly 70 years ago, MCDS’s founders envisioned a school where students from San Francisco and Marin could fall in love with learning in a spectacular outdoor setting. Today, we remain committed to enrolling an equal number of students from Marin and SF in our kindergarten class each year.
Community
& Belonging
We want all members of the MCDS community to be—and feel—seen, heard, and valued. Every day we seek to create and nurture a sense of belonging among our students, families, faculty and staff.
