在马林地平线, the 上学校 years are a time of exploration and development, 无论是在学术上还是作为一个负责任的世界公民. 我们的学生注重自我宣传和学术弹性, 因为他们培养了批判性思维能力. Students are encouraged to celebrate differences and share their perspectives in an expanding community.

​

高中所有的科目都是分科的, and students travel from class to class in groups to learn from teachers in specialized subject areas. All classes offer levels of differentiation depending on the range of skills of the students in the classroom. The curriculum is designed to help students develop intellectual curiosity as they work towards mastery of concepts. 通过基于项目的学习, there are several touchpoints for integrating the curriculum across disciplines. 科学 and 社会研究 classes are taught in mixed grade groupings, opening up opportunities for academic interactions with a larger number of students and providing deeper levels of collaborative learning experiences.  A Marin Horizon 8th grader will be beaming with pride when they talk about their “pumpkin catapult” they built from scratch, 涉及到工业设计, 几何角度, 运动定律, and overall showmanship – all as an integrated multi-disciplinary project. They will spend hours talking about their Rube Goldberg project, where they worked in teams to build contraptions that helped them embrace 挑战, 把失败当作垫脚石, 与队友建立联系, and ultimately pride as they present their inventive machine to the entire school.

Students are given many opportunities to grow and thrive outside of the classroom. Marin Horizon 上学校 students are also given opportunities to explore the wonder of the natural world during class outings, 一天旅行, 一夜之间的冒险. They display their creative talents with amazing theatrical performances, and learn how to be a “change agent” with individualized projects where they get to have a notable impact on the local community.

Upper school is a time of extraordinary learning and growth. The 上学校 endeavors to help students take ownership of their own education and graduate with a strong sense of self and a desire to contribute positively to the world.
